Help!!! Task 1.. Not sure how to write it

Post by Alexendergg »

The graphs compare the various contributions of farm land deterioration and percentage of land degradation by regions in the 1990s. It can be clearly seen that the prime reason of land degradation is over-gazing of farm animal and Europe had the most reduced productive land.

Apart from over-gazing, deforestation was the second causes of land degeneration which was 30%. This followed by over-cultivation of certain crops which was 28%. In addition, other reason was the least cause of land degradation which was only 7%.

Analyzing in term of regions, the least affected region was North America which had only 5% of total degraded land and major of it was due to too much of cultivation which stands about 3.3%. In contrary, Oceania had 13% of total land degradation but none of it was due to over-cultivation. As mentioned Europe being the most affected region had 23% of sum of degraded land and deforestation being the greatest reason.

Apart from over-gazing, deforestation was the second cause of land degeneration, as it was responsible for 30% of the damage. This was followed by over-cultivation of certain crops, with 28% of the damage. There were a few other minor causes accounting for 7% of the degradation.

In terms of regions, the least affected region was North America which had only 5% of total degraded landthe majority of it was due to too much cultivation which stands about 3.3%.

You described the data well and made some good comparisons. You could possibly offer a theory as to why the different regions had such different causes of land degradation. For example, New Zealand culture is heavily focused on dairy farming, which could explain why over-grazing is the main cause of damage.
Well done!
