When the Vikings first settled Iceland, much of the island was covered in lush, green vegetation. The settlers began widely farm

ing the region and allowing livestock to graze freely. But the Icelandic vegetation was very slow to grow back, and farming rapidly removed the few nutrients that the soil held. These practices continued for centuries and drastically increased the rate of erosion and decreased the quality of the soil. The result is that today many once-lush regions of Iceland's landscape look like the desert pictured below. The example described above illustrates that
A.

B.
human land use choices can drastically alter the Earth's surface and cause desertification.
C.
desertification is a natural phenomenon that cannot be impacted by human land use choices.
D.

Answer:

1.2The main processes involved in the movement of water between the different reservoirs are evaporation, condensation, transport, precipitation, runoff (water runoff from the ground surface), infiltration and transpiration

3.The large surface of the oceans (about 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered by oceans) favors the occurrence of large-scale evaporation. On a global scale, the same amount of water that is evaporated returns to Earth as precipitation. This however varies geographically

4.Earth from Space Although the engine of the cycle is the solar energy that originates the evaporation of liquid water, and therefore its passage into the atmosphere, the role of gravity is also fundamental, thanks to which precipitation falls and continental waters return to the oceans

5.The water cycle is powered by solar energy. The sun heats the surface of the ocean and other surface waters, which evaporates liquid water and sublimates ice, converting it directly from a solid to a gas. These sun-driven processes move water into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor
