there are many human activities which cause soil erosion here is one of them;
deforestation: cutting down of trees on large scale cause the degradation of soil because when rain comes and there are trees trees do not allow soil to move from its place .
I don't know.......my question is... how does erosion contribute to flooding?
farming ,logging,and etc.
Soil erosion and certain human activities causes the nutrients in the top soil to be removed.
Soil erosion simply means the removal of soil from land. The most common ways soil is removed from land are by rain water or by wind. Soil erosion is often accelerated by human activities such as farming.
Farming, logging, mining and land development for human habitation are the usual suspects.

It is strip mining and deforestation
farming ,logging,and etc.
Accelerated erosion is soil erosion that occurs more rapidly than soil horizons can form from the parent regolith. Erosion can be accelerated through the activities of human beings.
Improper farming practices, for one. Farming practices are improper when crops are continually grown, harvested and the soil is not given enough time to replace its nutrients. Excessive ploughing of land may also cause soil erosion. Animal grazing may also cause the lack of natural vegetation (forest), and, hence, lack of plant roots to bind the soil particles together, and this will cause soil erosion. A term to remember is accelerated soil erosion, the removal of topsoil, which contains the nutrients that sustain vegetation growth. I believe these human activities, which are all classified under improper farming practices, cause (human-induced) desertification.
Human activities influence different factors that affect the rock cycle, for example, soil erosion and weathering. Human activity such as mining affects rocks' weathering, affecting the rock cycle. Other human activities such as farming affect soil erosion, and soil erosion is a factor that affects the rock cycle.

how does a person cause a soil erosion
Farming, logging, mining and land development for human habitation are the usual suspects.
Human acivities such as;Bush burning,bush clearing,overgrazing by animals and so on.
