Erosion does have its dangers. Loss of topsoil leads to reduced soil fertility (which in turn can lead to food shortage, which is potentially very dangerous). Also, erosion of land can lead to the collapse of buildings that are built on that land.

As a result the soil drys out further and turns sandy and unable to sustain life leading to desertification. The washed out soil can also have a deleterious effect on the river and marine environments associated wit the run off.
