Land

Land is the solid surface of the Earth that is not permanently covered by water. The vast majority of human activity throughout history has occurred in land areas that support agriculture, habitat, and various natural resources. Some life forms (including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals) have developed from predecessor species that lived in bodies of water.

Types of Land

Land can be categorized into several types, including:

• Agricultural land: Land that is used for the purpose of agricultural activities such as growing crops or rearing animals.
• Forest land: Land that is covered with forests and is used for the purpose of forestry or conservation of biodiversity.
• Urban land: Land that is used for the purpose of urban development, including residential, commercial, and industrial areas.
• Rural land: Land that is not part of an urban area and is often used for agricultural or recreational purposes.

Land and Human Activity

Human activity on land has had a significant impact on the environment. This includes deforestation, land degradation, and pollution, which have led to global warming and climate change.

Land Rights

Land rights are the rights that individuals, groups, or legal entities have with respect to land. These rights can be acquired through various means, including purchase, inheritance, or lease.
