Question 4(c)

What will happen if the top layer of soil is exposed.

Answer

The top layer of soil if exposed will get eroded. The erosion will expose the lower, hard and rocky layers that have less humus and are less fertile. Gradually the fertile land will get converted into desert resulting in desertification.
