promoting soil erosion
ignoring natural resources in favor of urban development

Explanation:

• Question 4: Agricultural land use involves activities related to farming. A wheat farm is used for growing crops, which is agricultural. A shopping center is commercial, a hiking trail is for recreation, and a school is for education.
• Question 5: Land use refers to how land is designated and utilized. The total land area is just a quantity, the study of landforms is geomorphology, and elevation is a physical characteristic.
• Question 6: Sustainable land management aims to balance human needs (e.g., food production, housing) with environmental protection (e.g., soil conservation, biodiversity). Promoting soil erosion, ignoring natural resources for urban development, and maximizing land use without regard for the environment are not sustainable.

Answer:

• Question 4: C. A wheat farm
• Question 5: C. How land is designated and utilized
• Question 6: D. Balancing human needs with environmental protection
