No. There is no record of Japanese soldiers landing on Australian soil. Much damage was done with the air bombings of Darwin and Broome. Japanese submarines also entered Sydney Harbour in 1942, and successfully torpedoed the naval depot ship HMAS Kuttabul, killing 19 Australians and 2 British sailors. Their attempts to hit the Sydney Harbour Bridge fell far short of the mark. But there is no indication that any Japanese soldiers ever landed on Australian soil.

What is the difference between land degradation and soil erosion?

Land degradation refers to the deterioration of the land's quality and productivity due to various factors like human activities, deforestation, and climate change. Soil erosion is a specific type of land degradation where the top layer of soil is lost or displaced by wind, water, or other natural factors, leading to reduced soil fertility and productivity. In summary, soil erosion is a key process within the broader concept of land degradation.

Which would be more fertile soil on hilly land or soil on a plain?

Soil on hilly land tends to be more fertile than soil on a plain. The erosion caused by the topography of hilly land allows for greater organic matter accumulation and nutrient retention in the soil, making it more productive for plant growth. Additionally, the slopes on hilly land help with water drainage and prevent waterlogging, which can contribute to soil fertility.


Which is not a land resource the wind a forest iron soil?

How do floods and drought cause land degradation?

Floods can cause land degradation by eroding topsoil, carrying away nutrients, and saturating the soil with water which can lead to soil compaction and loss of soil structure. Droughts can cause land degradation by reducing vegetation cover, making the soil vulnerable to erosion, and depleting soil moisture, which can lead to desertification and loss of fertility in the soil.
