Conserving Land and Soil What you need to know. Land is a natural resource.  A natural resource is anything that occurs naturally in the environment.

DEFORESTATION Deforestation is clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about.

Guided Notes on the Human Impact on Land Resources

Soil Erosion Soil erosion is the movement of soil components from one place to another, usually from wind or water. Plant anchor the soil so that it is.

Lesson 8 Soil Use, Abuse, and Conservation. Think About It… Why is soil important?

Conserving Land and Soil. Value of Soil Soil is one of Earth’s most valuable resources because everything that lives depends on it. Soil is one of Earth’s.

Soil Conservation. How do we use the land to change the land? Mining – rocks and minerals are removed from the ground for profit by one of two methods:

Soil Erosion. What is soil erosion? A natural process of soil moving from one place to another.

Supports the growth of plants, which in turn supply us with many things, such as food, clothing, medicines, lumber, and even oxygen. Supports the growth.

Human Environment Interaction How does the environment affect us and how do we affect the environment?
