Land cover refers to the physical aspects of the land surface, such as vegetation, water bodies, or urban areas, while land use refers to the human activities that take place on the land, such as agriculture, residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. Land cover describes what is on the land, while land use describes how the land is utilized.
Plains regions cover about 55% of the Earth's land surface.
Sheet erosion can be controlled by implementing conservation practices such as contour plowing, terracing, cover cropping, and planting windbreaks. These methods help to reduce the speed and amount of water runoff and prevent soil from being washed away in sheets. Proper land management practices can also help to improve soil structure and reduce erosion.
Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
It is believed that the first humans evolved from apelike ancestors in Africa around 200,000 years ago. There is no specific "first person" who landed on Earth since humans have existed on this planet for thousands of years.
They erode the land after thousands of years.
It died out thousands of years ago.
The land in Antarctica has remained unchanged for many thousands of years.
If the ice sheet melted, the land underneath would be exposed. This could lead to the release of stored carbon and nutrients, affecting ecosystems and potentially contributing to climate change. It may also unveil geological features that have been hidden for thousands of years.
The ice sheet that covers Antarctica is a 98% coverage of the land mass that is the continent.
Because the soil is rich and not dried out. :)

An ice sheet is a massive glacier that covers land, while an ice shelf is a floating platform of ice attached to the coast. Ice sheets are formed from accumulated snow over thousands of years, while ice shelves are formed from glaciers flowing off the land.
Ice that is 2km thick can be found in areas such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or the Antarctic Ice Sheet. These ice sheets are massive bodies of ice that cover the land, with the Antarctic Ice Sheet being the thickest, reaching up to 4.8km in some parts.
It is like the occupier of another land claiming that it was his/hers from thousands of years ago.
It was their land and where they lived for thousands of years as well as where they buried their ancestors.
