Urban construction causes soil soil erosion because when the land is cleared of vegetation the soil is moved and gets loose then wind and water erodes it. :) :)

What are the various ways in which man's misuse of the land can cause soil erosion?
Human activity on and around the earths surface whether it is in your backyard or down the park are known to cause erosion 10 times more than naturally occurring processes. Human life has been the number on cause of erosion dating back to the first millennium. Agriculture and construction are the 2 ways in which humans cause erosion. Construction when unnecessarily conducted can be quite damaging to soil and dirt. Vegetation and agriculture are also 2 human causes of erosion because humans move the top soil and make it prone to erosion. Grazing and deforestation are also human causes of erosion because human life is making the grounds surface soil bare and extremely prone to erosion by natural forces. Across America where soil is being eroded due to human activity. Another way in which humans cause erosion is by simply watering their gardens. Erosion occurs when watering the gardens of your residential property mainly because the force of water which is coming from your garden hose or irrigation system is too fierce and it makes the soil eroded quite quickly. We can prevent this also by not over watering garden areas containing soil.
How does increasing human population affect soil erosion?
It increases it because when humans walk on dirt it causes the soil to fill up with dirty bacteria and cause erosion
Does soil erosion cause landslides?
Water causes the soil to soften up and become slippery, causing landslides. In addition, excessive rainfall leads tobsuper-saturated soil, which cannot hold up against gravity. Gravity in one form or another is the main cause of landslides, and too much rainfall weakens the soil's sub-structure.
What human activities cause desertification?
Improper farming practices, for one. Farming practices are improper when crops are continually grown, harvested and the soil is not given enough time to replace its nutrients. Excessive ploughing of land may also cause soil erosion. Animal grazing may also cause the lack of natural vegetation (forest), and, hence, lack of plant roots to bind the soil particles together, and this will cause soil erosion. A term to remember is accelerated soil erosion, the removal of topsoil, which contains the nutrients that sustain vegetation growth. I believe these human activities, which are all classified under improper farming practices, cause (human-induced) desertification.

How animals and people cause erosion?
People and animals cause erosion simply by moving soil. Animals might cause erosion by over grazing or burrowing, but humans cause much more through construction, farming, and other large displacements.

How do floods cause soil erosion and soil erosion causes floods?
when flood occurs some part of soil mainly the upper layer carrying humus due to which soil erosion occurs
What does not help cause soil erosion?
Soil erosion is not helped by tilling too deeply. Wind and water will then carry the soil away. Minimum tillage is the best way to prevent soil erosion.
What are the causes of soil erosion in the Philippines?

How mining and quarrying can cause soil erosion?

How do humans affect erosion by logging?
Human beings may cause erosion by activities such as farming or games. They may also cause erosion by cutting down trees and other vegetation that act as windbreakers.
