What is the cause of the erosion?

wind and water are the 2 causes of weathering and erosion


What are 2 possible causes of erosion?

Two possible causes of erosion are natural processes like wind, water, and glaciers carrying away soil and rock particles, and human activities such as deforestation, construction, and agriculture practices that disturb the land and increase erosion rates.


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 much soil erosion happens in a year?

On average, it is estimated that about 1-2 millimeters of topsoil are lost due to soil erosion each year globally. However, the rate of soil erosion can vary greatly depending on factors such as land use, climate, and topography. Intensive agricultural practices and deforestation can significantly accelerate soil erosion rates in certain areas.


How agriculture causes soil degradation?

Building on it , walking on it, not using it properly and contaminating it. Construction of any type, mining, deforestation, agricultural soil depletion from poor cultivation practices, creation of dams, manufacturing pollutants, sod farming, improper use of pesticides/insecticides/herbicides and fertilizers, and overpopulation in general.

What are the various ways in which man's misuse of the land can cause soil erosion?

Human activity on and around the earths surface whether it is in your backyard or down the park are known to cause erosion 10 times more than naturally occurring processes. Human life has been the number on cause of erosion dating back to the first millennium. Agriculture and construction are the 2 ways in which humans cause erosion. Construction when unnecessarily conducted can be quite damaging to soil and dirt. Vegetation and agriculture are also 2 human causes of erosion because humans move the top soil and make it prone to erosion. Grazing and deforestation are also human causes of erosion because human life is making the grounds surface soil bare and extremely prone to erosion by natural forces. Across America where soil is being eroded due to human activity. Another way in which humans cause erosion is by simply watering their gardens. Erosion occurs when watering the gardens of your residential property mainly because the force of water which is coming from your garden hose or irrigation system is too fierce and it makes the soil eroded quite quickly. We can prevent this also by not over watering garden areas containing soil.
