Detailed Solution

The cement industry is responsible for land degradation. This is due to the grinding of stones. While making cement, big pieces of rock are ground off to produce cement. But during the grinding process, a large amount of dust is also released into the air. The dust particles of the air are used to settle down on the topmost and most fertile layer of the soil. This dusty layer of soil even disrupts the process of water infiltration, resulting in soil degradation and low production of crops. Then these types of lands again need the help of additional fertilisers, pesticides, and irrigation.
