Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

---

Part A: Tick (✓) the correct answers.

1. The uppermost layer of the soil is called
- Bedrock → That’s the hard rock at the bottom, not top. ✘
- Topsoil → Yes! This is the top layer where plants grow. ✔
- Subsoil → That’s below topsoil. ✘
- Concrete → Not part of natural soil! ✘
→ Correct answer: (ii) topsoil

2. The process of carrying away the topsoil is called
- Soil conservation → That’s how we *protect* soil, not take it away. ✘
- Silting → That’s when dirt settles in water, like rivers or lakes. ✘
- Soil erosion → YES! This is when wind or water carries away topsoil. ✔
- Deforestation → That’s cutting down trees — related but not the same. ✘
→ Correct answer: (iii) soil erosion

3. The cutting down of trees in an area is called
- Deforestation → Exactly! Cutting down forests/trees. ✔
- Afforestation → That’s planting new trees. Opposite! ✘
- Soil erosion → Again, that’s about soil being washed/blown away. ✘
- Soil conservation → Protecting soil, not cutting trees. ✘
→ Correct answer: (i) deforestation

Part B: Match the following.

We have 3 pictures and 3 terms:

- Picture 1: Shows cut logs stacked up → This means trees were cut down → Deforestation (ii)
- Picture 2: Two people planting a tree → This is adding trees → Afforestation (iii)
- Picture 3: Shows land with deep gullies or washed-away earth → This is soil being carried away → Soil erosion (i)

So matching:

→ Picture 1 → Deforestation (ii)
→ Picture 2 → Afforestation (iii)
→ Picture 3 → Soil erosion (i)

But wait — the question says “Match the following” and lists:

Under Picture 1: Soil erosion (i)
Under Picture 2: Deforestation (ii)
Under Picture 3: Afforestation (iii)

That seems to be labeling the options under each picture — but actually, we need to match the *picture* to the *correct term*.

Looking again:

The layout is:

Picture 1 — labeled underneath as “Soil erosion (i)” — but that’s probably just listing the choices below all pictures.

Actually, re-reading: The section says “B. Match the following.” Then shows 3 pictures numbered 1, 2, 3. Below them are three labels:

- Soil erosion (i)
- Deforestation (ii)
- Afforestation (iii)

So we must match each picture number (1, 2, 3) to the correct label (i, ii, iii).

From our analysis:

- Picture 1 (cut logs) → Deforestation → which is labeled (ii)
- Picture 2 (planting tree) → Afforestation → labeled (iii)
- Picture 3 (eroded land) → Soil erosion → labeled (i)

So final matches:

→ 1 → (ii)
→ 2 → (iii)
→ 3 → (i)

Final Answer:

A.
1. (ii) topsoil
2. (iii) soil erosion
3. (i) deforestation

B.
1 → (ii)
2 → (iii)
3 → (i)
