Thank you guys for answering otherwise I would I have failed in my assignment.
You are correct! The process of restoring an area of land to a more natural, productive state is called land reclamation. To arrive at this answer, it helps to understand the definitions of each option:
A. Contour farming: Contour farming is a practice of farming where the rows of crops are cultivated along the curves of the land to prevent soil erosion. This option is not related to the restoration of land to a more natural state.
B. Mining: Mining involves extracting valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth. While mining can certainly impact the land, it is not specifically focused on restoring it to a more natural, productive state.
C. Land reclamation: This is the process of restoring land, typically after it has been damaged or disturbed by human activities such as mining, construction, or industrial processes. Land reclamation aims to return the land to a state where it can support natural vegetation and overall ecosystem health.
D. Desertification: Desertification refers to the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically due to factors such as climate change, deforestation, or overgrazing. It does not involve restoring the land to a more natural, productive state.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Land reclamation.
