Erosion is the movement of weathered(broken down by water, wind, etc.) material. Soil erosion changes soil because it takes away nutrients from it. This in-turn makes the soil unhealthy which affects it's living organisms such as plants. This can affect us because when we eat the plants that are from the unhealthy soil, we are receiving less nutrients.

Edit:

Soil erosion also changes the soil by simply removing it. Many tons of soil are lost every year due to erosion by wind or water. This soil may end up at the bottom of the ocean, or other places where it will never do anyone any good.

Soil that is well-rooted with perennials like grass or trees, etc. does not erode. Erosion is mostly due to the practice of tillage in farming. Low-tillage, or no-tillage methods of farming greatly reduce the losses of soil due to erosion.

Erosion can change the land by wearing away soil and rock, shaping the landscape over time.

What forms soil erosion?

Soil erosion can occur through water erosion (like rainfall washing away soil) or wind erosion (where soil particles are carried away by the wind). Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and improper agricultural practices can also contribute to soil erosion.


Compared to the past rates of soil erosion are?

Compared to past rates, current rates of soil erosion are generally higher due to increased human activities such as deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization. Climate change is also contributing to accelerated soil erosion by intensifying rainfall and extreme weather events. Efforts to implement sustainable land management practices are crucial in mitigating further soil erosion.
