First of all plants don't affect erosion in fact, they help us to stop soil from eroding. The process of wearing away of soil slowly over a period of time by wind , water , etc. is called soil erosion . The roots of the plants hold the soil and its particles together to prevent the soil from erosion . That's why we must plant trees to stop soil from eroding. =D

What makes agriculture difficult in haiti?
Soil Erosion

What makes plants and grasses difficult to digest?
cellulose
How does erosion effect plants?
Erosion can wash away soil from plants and stunt their growth. Erosion can uproot plants and kill plants. On the other hand plants can help stop erosion.
How do humans interact with erosion?
Erosion is a natural process. Humans contribute to erosion when they clear an area of plants. Plants help to keep the soil in place through their roots. Humans can help to control erosion by planting hillsides and slopes with erosion control plants.
How can levees cause erosion?
Because the from of the plants are the same type of the erosion
Which process makes sediments weathering or erosion?

How can plants contribute erosion?
they give off roots spreading towards the erosion and smooth the erosion system
How do plants and animals contributes to soil erosion and weathering of rocks?
they POO EROSION
