== == Soil erosion is not the same as soil transfer. Soil erosion is when an element (ie: wind, water) erodes the soil, taking it away. Soil transfer is when an element (ie: wind, water) carries (transfers) soil to somewhere else, depositing it. Soil erosion is caused when underlying factors disturb the dormant soil. Examples include a flood where the water rushes in and washes soil out or an underground pipe bursts. Also if too many trees are chopped down in a hilly area, it will eventually cause erosion.

Soil transfer, commonly seen in deserts, is caused when high winds lift up and carry the soil away, depositing it many miles away. This is also seen in the southern states and South America, where storms bring dirt and sand all the way from the Asian or Mediterranean regions.
