"Human activities" have degraded the land and the natural forces because of the following:

· Activities such as mining, over grazing, deforestation and quarrying are primarily responsible for land degradation.

· Reasons for land degradation in some states are:

1. Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh: Mining

2. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujrat, Maharashtra: Over Grazing

3. Over irrigation in Haryana, Punjab and U.P. causes water logging due to which alkanity and salinity of the soil increases.

· Industrial effluents and dust released by mineral processing units are also responsible for it.
