Question

How do erosion, desertification, deforestation, and damming impact the environment?

Answer 1

deforestation: cutting down forests for particular reasons, including creation of farmlands, need for firewood, clearings for houses, etc

desertification: Overuse of land to the point that the land loses it's mineral wealth and becomes a desert overtime. This happens usually with over farming, when a certain group of people farm a area for a long time without stopping or changing

Damming: Stopping or restricting water flow, usually for generating electricity or holding back flooding. This usually caused a shortage of fishes and other marine-life, and animals that depend on these that live inland will slowly die off

Answer 2

Hello! Erosion causes changes in land appearance and/or land functions.
Desertification makes the land almost unusable and in a desert-like state. It is hard to reap crops from a desert-like land and it also impacts the wildlife.
Deforestation devastates the environment but also allows room for houses and infrastructure in a settlement.
Damming disrupts the aquatic environment and the fish are somewhat trapped unless there is a fish ladder,
