Answer and explanation

1. Land pollution

A case study in my country Nigeria. The rate of open defecation and improper disposal of waste has made some regions uninhabitable. Polluting the land as well the atmosphere.

2. Depletion of natural resources

Deforestation: this is the one the challenges faced in the world today. The rate of falling trees for furniture making or bush burning for agricultural purposes is alarming. This leads to ozone layer depletion and environment pollution.
