corrected. Shirley Benjamin EVS 1001 Professor Gehosky Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. The three major causes of soil erosion are over cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation. These are each all major problems in creating an unsustainable society. The good thing is that each of these causes of erosion can be corrected to create a more sustainable society. Over cultivation is the practice of repeatedly cultivating

Conclusion: The government should to intervention on the industry that doing the cutting trees and deforestation which can lead Indonesia to a bigger problem‚ the government should make a regulation about forestation for the industry that involve in the deforestation‚ they should plant trees as much as what they took. The regulation also has to be more specific and the regulation about monitoring the action has to be increase so the

Diamond explores the natural climatic conditions conducive to Easter Island’s dramatic deforestation‚ among them a very high latitude‚ minimal precipitation‚ low volcanic ash fallout‚ no makatea rock‚ and physical isolation from other islands. Diamond’s explanation is strengthened by his description of people’s contributions to this process of environmental degradation. What Diamond concludes is that the deforestation responsible for the collapse of the Easter Island society was mostly self-induced.

While the nature takes from 100 to 400 years to build one centimetre of top soil‚ man can and often does destroy it almost overnight by haphazard land use and improvident husbandry. Irrational methods of cultivation‚ deforestation‚ destruction of natural vegetation due to overgrazing by pasturing animals etc.‚ accelerate denudation. Besides‚ failure of rains‚ floods‚ depopulation and loss of cattle caused by famine and pestilence‚ disturbance caused by war and interference with or change

million inhabitants. In recent years‚ megacities in the developing world have grown rapidly with little or no planning. As a result‚ they face cries of infrastructure‚ poverty and unemployment. The driving force for the rise of megacities is mass urbanisation between rural – urban areas‚ as well as rates of natural increase that are higher in urban than rural areas. An example of a megacity is Mexico City‚ population estimates range between 16-30 million depending on where the boundaries are drawn.

These strengths included the Southern military tradition‚ the lack of urbanisation in the South and the physical vastness of the Confederacy. The Southern military tradition meant that the Confederate army had many professional officers‚ as well as the Southern militias providing many well-trained men. The lack of urbanisation in the South caused Richmond and New Orleans to be the two main targets. This was advantageous for the Confederacy because
