Want this question answered?
other soils have a poor resistance to erosion. A slope can increase the affects of erosion, obviously, because it increases speed, and destruction of the runoff and sediment.
Contour farming
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.

Soil Erosion affects the land in many ways. It can take away the topsoil of the soil horizon which is important to growing crops and pasture for its organic matter. Also erosion can cause leaching of the soil which means that nutrients leave the soil and may become hazardous to aquatic life downstream.
Glacial erosion can carve out deep valleys, create U-shaped valleys, and leave behind moraines and drumlins. The movement of glaciers erodes rock and soil, shaping the land through processes such as abrasion and plucking. As glaciers flow over the landscape, they can significantly alter the topography by creating features like cirques and fjords.

The steeper the hillside, the higher chance for soil erosion.

A steep slope will experience accelerated erosion and a low level of deposition because water moves more rapidly on a steep slope than on a lesser slope. Rapidly moving water has more energy in it will exert a greater force on the slope causing particles to become carried away and for this reason the rate of erosion is higher and the rate of deposit is lower. On a lesser slope, the water moves more slowly and does not have as much energy to carry particles away. The lesser the slope, the slower the water moves, the less energy it has and the rate of deposit is higher.

as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
What are the affects of a erosion
It affects through it changes the shape of the land.....by the caused of wind and water that carried tiny particles of soil and rocks away.....
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
