Urbanization can cause big problems for our environment. Here’s how:
Land Development: When we turn forests and fields into buildings and roads, we disturb the soil. This makes it easier for rain to wash the soil away.
Increased Runoff: When we cover the ground with concrete, there’s nowhere for the water to go. This means more water runs off the surface, which causes more erosion because the soil can’t absorb it.
Fragmentation: Cities break up habitats. This can trap animals and make it harder for them to survive.
To sum it up, as cities grow, nature suffers. This harms both the variety of living things and the health of our soil.
