Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Off-road vehicles can loosen soil and change the hydrology of a site by creating ruts and altering the topography, reducing infiltration and increasing erosion. This can lead to soil compaction, loss of soil structure, and decreased soil fertility. Additionally, the acceleration and deceleration of off-road vehicles can cause soil disturbance, displacement, and sedimentation. However, off-road vehicles do not necessarily pollute soil with emissions, change the local rainfall characteristics, or change the classification of a soil.
