PART B_2

Land is the part of the Earth that is not covered by water. It is where humans get most of the natural resources that are needed for human activities. Some of the examples of land resources are minerals and forest products. Land allows people to grow and produce food. It is also where people construct houses and buildings. This is also home to various animals in the world.

However, over the past years, human activities have been greatly affecting land resources. Irresponsible use of land resources has been the main cause of the decline in available resources. Humans use too many resources without considering its consequences. That is why the government and some organizations are educating people on how to protect and save land resources.
