Question

what is most likely to change the earths balance, resulting in soil erosion?
○ water pollution
○ air pollution
○ landfills
○ deforestation

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Water pollution affects water bodies, not directly soil erosion.
• Air pollution impacts air quality, not soil erosion.
• Landfills involve waste disposal, not a direct cause of soil erosion.
• Deforestation removes trees, which hold soil in place. Without trees, soil is more prone to erosion due to wind and water, disrupting Earth's balance.

Answer:

D. deforestation
