How is cattle farming affecting erosion?
It depends on where the cattle farming is taking place. Some areas where people have little ideas of how to properly graze their cattle, the erosion in those areas is high. But in areas where farmers and ranchers are maintaining good to great grazing practices, there is little to no soil erosion happening.
Why is erosion greatly reduced in areas covered by grasses and shrubs and trees?
It is because all of the roots are holding the soil in place.
Why is erosion more common in areas where there is little vegetation?
Vegetation, such as grasses, shrubs and trees help to cover and protect soil from being washed away by heavy rain.
How does erosion affect mountainous areas?
Erosion affects mountainous areas because erosion may flatten one area of our planet, but other areas rise to keep a balance. Hope this helps.
Where does soil erosion mostly occur?
soil erosion mostly occur in hilly areas,coastal areas etc.
Groundwater is the most effective erosion agent in what areas?
Groundwater erosion occurs most often in areas with an abundance of limestone and rainfall. This erosion can create large cavities and caves.
What can help against soil erosion?
Anything which will protect the soil from any eroding force. Common methods include: planting of grasses, field terracing, contour farming, establishment of riparian areas, and construction of physical barriers. In some areas, organic polymers have even been applied to the soil to "bind" it in place. Also, making sure that stormwater is properly controlled can help minimize soil erosion.

What type of erosion is common in the desert?
Wind erosion, a type of erosion where wind blows away sediment, is common in desert areas.
What are two classification of turfgrass?
There are many varieties of grass but only two types, which are cool season grasses and warm season grasses. Cool season grasses are generally used in northern areas that experience cold winters and warm summers. Warm season grasses are generally used in southern areas where they are able to tolerate and thrive in summer heat.
How do sediment and erosion effect farming?
Erosion is worse when farms are in areas with high rainfall or severe drought.
Does wind erosion happen in mostly low wet areas?
No, wind erosion requires dry conditions.
