Question 7 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Where are the effects of soil salinization most likely to be seen?

Answer
A
inland farmland
B
mountain communities
C
coastal farmland
D
coastal cities

Explanation

Soil salinization happens when salts build up in soil, often because seawater intrudes into land or irrigation water evaporates and leaves salts behind. Coastal farmland is especially vulnerable to saltwater intrusion, which can make the soil less suitable for crops. Therefore, the effects are most likely to be seen in coastal farmland.
