Erosion is the major reason. This can be caused by wind, water and glaciers. Deforestation is where people dig up too many trees and overgrazing is where people dig up their crops all at one time and these processes can cause the wind to take it away easily. The wind blows dirt and soil easily and "hopping is where soil hits other soil on the ground as it is blowing and it bounces it up, causing much soil to be blown away. Water erosion is caused either by rain where it washes it away, or rivers, (specificly meandering stream), streams that have lots of turns and erosion occurs on the outer part of the turns, and this is how rivers get larger. Glaciers also pick up a lot of soil as they grind along the earth and once it gets low enough so that it melts, rocks and soil is deposited at that spot. (I just did a research project!).

What are two ways that nutrients and minerals are lost from soil?
There are several ways that nutrient minerals are lost from the soil. The overuse of the soil in farming, natural weather inclinations and over population are just some of the ways.
What are three ways soil can be damaged or lost?
Soil can be lost or damaged if there is heavy wind in the area, if there is a drought and if it loses it's fertile.
What are two ways in witch the value of soil can be reduced?
The two ways in which the value of soil can be reduced are: when the soil loses its fertility and when topsoil is lost due to erosion.
Ways water is lost from soil?
Water from the soil is lost in many ways. They are listed below:1. Surface run off (often in compact soil or soil with much clay particles)2. By drainage (in soil which has not reached field capacity)3. Evaporation from the soil surface4. Transpiration by plants5. Deep percolation (by the force of gravity)Leckraz Kaullysing

What are some of the natural ways of soil regaining the nutrients lost to plants?
planting root plants
In what ways can soil be alike?

What the two ways that topsoil can be lost?
Heavy rains/flooding, or crops/plants that destroy the nutrients in the soil (like the cotton plant).
What Substances that will lost from soil when erosion occurs?
soil
How does erosion affects the land?
Soil Erosion affects the land in many ways. It can take away the topsoil of the soil horizon which is important to growing crops and pasture for its organic matter. Also erosion can cause leaching of the soil which means that nutrients leave the soil and may become hazardous to aquatic life downstream.
When is the fertility of soil lost?
The fertility of soil is lost when a person grows a particular crop every year.
