  1. It would help if you wrote out a complete question.  Do you want to know how machines can cause environmental degradation?

    Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife.

    Machines can contribute to this in many ways.  For instance, if a ship leaks oil into the ocean, it is polluting the ocean and this will eventually lead to depletion of fish and other oceanic resources.  Airplanes release polutants into the atmosphere, this affects air quality, etc.


  2. As farm tractors and field equipment become larger and heavier, there is a growing concern about soil compaction. Soil compaction can be associated with a majority of field operations that are often performed when soils are wet and more susceptible to compaction. Heavy equipment and tillage implements can cause damage to the soil structure. Soil structure is important because it determines the ability of a soil to hold and conduct water, nutrients, and air necessary for plant root activity. Although much research has been conducted on soil compaction and its effects on yield, it is difficult to estimate an economic impact because fields vary in soil types, crop rotations, and weather conditions.
