Sign up nowLong Questions - Land, Soil, Water, Natural Vegetation and Wildlife Resources | Geography | Social Science | Class 8
Discuss in detail the different types of land use and the factors that determine the use of land. Provide examples for each type.
Land use refers to the various ways in which human beings utilize the land available to them. This use is determined by a combination of physical factors such as topography, soil, climate, minerals, and availability of water, as well as human factors like population and technology.
For example, in regions with fertile soil and favorable climate, land will be used for agriculture, like how Peter's family employs their land for organic farming and sheep rearing in New Zealand. However, in harsh conditions where farming is not feasible, such as the rocky land owned by Mamba's family in Tanzania, the land may be used for raising livestock or housing.
Land can also be classified, based on ownership, into private land and community land. Both types are subject to differing uses - private land can be used for personal purposes, such as housing or farming, while community land may be allocated for common needs, like the gathering of medicinal herbs or fodder.
Explain the process of soil formation. Discuss the major factors contributing to the formation of soil and how they influence the soil's characteristics.

Explain the concept of 'Land use' with examples.
Land use refers to the various ways in which humans utilize and manage the earth's land. It involves the management and modification of the natural environment or wilderness into a built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements.
For example, in the small village where Mamba and her family live in Tanzania, the land is primarily used for small-scale farming, where her father grows maize and beans. At times, the land around their hut may also be used for rearing their goats. On the other hand, in New Zealand, Peter’s family uses the land for sheep rearing and wool processing. Their land is situated on a grassy plain and managed using the latest technology. They also utilize the land for vegetable farming through organic practices.
What are the different ways in which Mamba’s and Peter’s families use their land?
