What is land pollution?

  • Land pollution is the degradation of Earth's land surfaces often caused by human activities and their misuse of land resources.
  • It occurs when waste is not disposed properly.
  • Industrial wastes, exploitation of minerals, and improper use of soil by inadequate agricultural practices are a few factors of land pollution.
  • Urbanization and industrializationare major causes of land pollution.
  • Land pollution destroyes natural habitats and polluted the environment, causing diseases in both humans and other species of animals.

    Wrong... (regarding your 4th point) urbanization and industrialization do not cause land pollution, it is the lack of discipline and integrity that causes the illegal and improper disposal of harmful waste. Hope it helps!
