Deforestation will cause soil erosion.
plants help keep the soil from being washed, or eroded away.
In soil erosion the top soil is being removed or washed away by the higher surface runoff.
The process through which soil is washed away by water is called erosion. This occurs when rain or flowing water loosens and carries away soil particles. Soil can also be blown away by the wind, a process known as wind erosion, where strong winds lift and transport soil particles to other areas. Both erosion and wind erosion can contribute to soil degradation and loss of fertility.
Trees prevent erosion and contribute to soil stability by their root systems. The roots of trees help hold the soil in place, preventing it from being washed away by water or blown away by wind. The roots also help to improve soil structure, making it more resistant to erosion. Additionally, the canopy of trees helps to reduce the impact of rainfall on the soil, further preventing erosion.
Trees prevent soil erosion by their extensive root systems that help to anchor the soil in place, reducing the risk of it being washed away by water or blown away by wind.

A lack of roots in the soil contributes to erosion in a big way. When a root system of a tree or plant is removed sediment from the ground gets eroded more of which it would be eroded if the root system was still there. This is because lack of roots.
soil erosion occurs when the surface of the soil is being washed away by erosion agents such as wind, rain, flood etc.
Land IS washed away in heavy rain and wind through the processes of weathering and erosion. The reason ALL of it is not washed away at once is because it takes considerable time for enough material to be weathered for it to be carried away by the rain and wind.
Soil is most likely to be washed away in areas with steep slopes, poor vegetation cover, and heavy rainfall or runoff. These conditions can lead to erosion, causing the soil to be carried away by water.
Plants with their root systems help prevent the surrounding soil from being washed away.
When trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by heavy rain as there are no tree roots to hold the soil down
