Detailed Solution

Arid areas are prone to land degradation.
Arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas are prone to land degradation as they fall under the process of desertification. Degradation is mostly a result of human activity, including deforestation, excessive grazing, mining, and quarrying. Reduced land and water degradation in industrial and suburban regions can be achieved by effectively managing wastelands, regulating mining operations, and properly discharging and disposing of industrial effluents and wastes following treatment.
