The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through just like sound waves push and pull the air. ... P waves are also known as compressional waves, because of the pushing and pulling they do.

#6 wet areas will erode away and have less land to use and the dry areas will have nutrient low sand and more rocks then actual dirt

#7 it makes the soil loose the nutrient s and casue tons fo farmland to loose a good quality of use.

#8 farm land wont produce as much cause there is nothing to fuel the plant growth.

#9 farmers and humans will need to move around more and tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over

#10 since farmers have to till massive amounts of tops soil in order to be able to use the land it cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail cause mudslides etc. then famine start setting in cause there would be now more suitable land for farming cause farmers would move around and use up all the land.
