When is the fertility of soil lost?
The fertility of soil is lost when a person grows a particular crop every year.
What causes soil erosion in the Mojave Desert?
Erosion is caused by wind year around and water during the rainy season in the summer months.
What are the advantages of soil erosion?
Soil erosion causes land and water pollution. When the soil flows into water bodies, it affects the quality of the water, which in turn can also block out sunlight and cause underwater plants to die and fishes to starve. It also pollutes the land as crops may be destroyed, causing economic damage and buildings may be destroyed, resulting in casualties.
What is a way to control soil erosion in which farmers plant different crops in different places each year?
Farmers
What is the main cause of soil erosion?
Farmers could not farm a field for one year, or you could do something to help control flooding. You can also put ditches around the field to catch the eroded soil. Soil erosion's are caused when deforestation is followed. The roots of the trees holds the soil firmly underground to prevent soil erosion as well as to get nutrients for themselves from the soil. But when people starts to chop down trees erosion's will naturally follow up. Erosion is caused by the improper turning or improper treatment of soil, leading to unhealthy soil, which eventually lead to erosion. People can prevent erosion by taking proper care of the soil and tilling and turning it properly so the soil can stay healthy.
How does soil erosion change the soil?
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.

How do you prevent beach erosion?
1) Plant more trees (palm trees) near the shore so that the roots of the trees hold the sand together. 2) Build rock cliffs which will erode at a much slower rate and prevent the sand from being washed away. 3) Construct wave barriers away from the shore in order to lessen the impact of wavesd on the shore.Planting sea grass, building water breaks, building retention walls, restricting traffic.
How much canyon walls are worn away by erosion per year?
~0.5 cm/year
What is the word for a way to control soil erosion in which farmers plant different crops in different place each year?
Do you mean like riparian planting
What is the adverse effect of cutting down of trees every year in a large number?
There are lot of adverse effects of deforestation. Soil erosion, floods etc are some.
How much deeper does the Grand Canyon get each year because of erosion?
A very small fraction of an inch in a normal year.
What happens if you don't use crop rotation?
You deplete the nutrients in the soil and have to add fertilizer to make up for the loss. With crop rotation you can plant something like corn, that needs nitrogen in the soil, one year and then plant something like soybeans the next year that absorbs (fixes) nitrogen from the air and leaves it in the soil. Further, without crop rotation the crops have a much greater chance of developing insect or disease problems. Soil erosion can also be worse, depending on which crop is produced.
