Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Desertification is usually defined as the process that causes the top fertile soil to change into a complete desert area, due to high wind erosion, lack of rainfall, and also high temperature in that area.

This reduces the fertility of the soil and this affects the growth and productivity of the soil, thereby leads to the absence of vegetation and permanently destroys the soil.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

3. Mechanized logging throughout hills: Techniques of mechanized logging were developed and which helped in clearing the trees from over the hills within months.
