Land Quiz

Hey Kids! I'm Captain Earthworm.

The quality of land can be damaged or polluted by human actions. This usually occurs because people do not understand soils and make poor decisions about how to use the land. Land pollution can occur in both rural and urban areas. Here are some examples of land pollution:

  • litter or trash on the land,
  • pesticides or other chemicals building up in the soil,
  • oil dumped or spilled onto land,
  • residue from mines or industry pile up,
  • high concentration of animal waste from farms,
  • chemicals leaking from underground tanks or landfills.

You can test your knowledge of land pollution with my quiz.
