Erosion causes the soil to slowly move away making the soil thinner and somewhat less fertile. It also may flood the farmland and cause crops to die.

How does loss of topsoil through erosion alter the normal water cycle?

Does erosion cause mountains to rise?
In a way, yes. Erosion of the mountain rock by wind, water, ice and gravity makes the mountain lighter. The loss of mass will cause it to rise due to the effects of isostatic equilibrium. If the mountain is rising due to plate tectonic collision, erosion may not be great enough to prevent a rise in elevation. However, if the plate collision effects are reduced or halted, the entire mountain will rise from uplift, but be reduced in elevation due to erosion. In this manner, a mountain could eventually be uplifted and reduced in elevation to sea level.
What does erosoin mean?
Eriosion is the wearing away/displacement of land over time either by wind, water or ice. A certain amount of erosion is natural and, in fact, healthy for the ecosystem. For example, gravel continuously move downstream in watercourses. Excessive erosion, however, does cause problems, such as receiving water sedimentation, ecosystem damage and outright loss of soil.
Give three conditions which would cause water loss from a plant to increase?
Water loss from a plant increase when it is: hot, sunny, dry or windy
What are the environmental impacts if a landslide occurs?
The environmental impacts are erosion, loss of top soil and the loss of vegetation.
What can cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
erosion by water and wind ;)
What can cause the loss of soil that not protected by plant cover?
erosion by water and wind ;)
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
What are some of the problems cause by excessive erosion?
Water sedimentation ecosystem damage and outright loss of soil.
What is the cause of loss of soil that is not produced by plant cover?
Erosion
How do people impact or cause erosion?
people causes erosion by soil erosion.Soil Erosion is the loss of topsoil by carrying it away to another place.The example of soil erosion is land slide
What causes soil loss?
water and wind
What is the effect of weathering and erosion on the topography of an area?
weathering and erosion can cause the destruction of properties like house,loss of life,disavailability of fertile soil

What are the enviromental issues caused by mining?
Erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, especially marine life, and contamination of water bodies are some of the environmental issues cause by mining. Soil erosion is prominent as mines are reclaimed when they are closed down. This will cause an instability in the soil, which is prone to erosion whe there is a heavy rain. Soil and other minerals from the mine also run into water bodies, contaminating them and destroying marine life.
How does erosion effect soil?
Erosion causes the loss of topsoil. Topsoil from thousand of acres of farmland lost to water and wind erosion each yaer in the united states alone.
Will soil erosion cause the loss of aquatic organisms?
For the most part, no. Soil erosion has been happening for millions of years, with no real adverse side effects. However, if there are contaminants, such as fertilizer, oil, or other chemicals, it can cause problems for aquatic creatures living in any bodies of water they're washed into.
