Detailed explanation-1: -Excessive and frequent irrigation, an essential need of the Green Revolution crops, salinises the soil, causing death of the soil in the long run. Desertification takes only the upper fertile layer of the land into its clutches. The lower layers of the land are replete with nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diminished land potential due to one or a combination of processes such as erosion, destruction of water resources, destruction of vegetation, and swamping, by climate and human factors, is called desertification.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement best explains why a large number of agricultural products are imported into the United States from Chile? Inexpensive labor in Chile reduces the cost of production.
Detailed explanation-4: -The soil pH increased after the green revolution due to the usage of these alkaline chemicals (Sharma and Singhvi, 2017).
