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

How are glaciers eroding the environment?
In two ways: literally by their runoff, and also, more importantly, by their disappearance.When glaciers are growing, as in an ice age, they erode the environment by flowing across the land moving rocks in their lower regions which essentially grind down rocks and topsoil. When retreating, the rocks and topsoil contained in the glacial ice are deposited as eskers.
List two specific techniques lessons the farmers since the Dust Bowl have learned about how to prevent the loss of topsoil?
