How does overgrazing increase land degradation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By removing vegetation cover

The governing concept is land degradation: the productive quality of land declines when its vegetation, soil structure, or nutrients are damaged. During overgrazing, animals consume plants faster than the vegetation can regenerate. Hoof pressure can also compact the soil, while the loss of roots leaves the surface unprotected. Rain and wind can then remove the exposed fertile topsoil, increasing erosion and reducing infiltration. Therefore, option A is correct because overgrazing removes vegetation cover. Options B, C, and D describe moisture improvement, tree planting, or water conservation, which generally help protect land rather than cause this form of degradation.
