TASK 1 Combination

The pie chart highlights that overgrazing (35%), deforestation (30%), and over-cultivation (28%) are the main causes of agricultural land degradation, while the table details their regional impacts in the 1990s. North America had the least degradation at 5%, primarily due to over-cultivation, whereas Europe faced 23% degradation mainly from deforestation. Oceania experienced 13% degradation, predominantly from over-grazing, with no impact from over-cultivation.

The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land becomes less productive.

The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s.

Causes of Worldwide Land Degredation

Sample answer :

The pie chart illustrates the primary reasons for declining agricultural productivity due to land
degradation, while the table provides a regional breakdown of these effects in the 1990s.

Overall, overgrazing, deforestation, and over-cultivation were the major contributors to land
degradation worldwide. However, the specific causes varied across different regions.
According to the pie chart, over-grazing was the leading cause of land degradation,
accounting for 35% of affected land. Deforestation followed closely at 30%, while
over-cultivation contributed 28%. The remaining 7% resulted from other factors.

The table indicates that North America experienced the least land degradation, with only 5%
of its agricultural land affected. Of this, nearly two-thirds was due to over-cultivation, while
over-grazing accounted for just under a third, and deforestation played a minimal role. In
contrast, Europe had a significantly higher proportion of degraded land (23%), with
deforestation being the primary factor (9.8%), followed by over-cultivation (7.7%) and
over-grazing (5.5%). Oceania, with 13% of its land degraded, was primarily affected by
over-grazing (11.3%), while deforestation contributed 1.7%. Notably, over-cultivation had no
recorded impact in this region.
