Erosion is usually the result of loose soil being washed away by wind or water. Human activity has increased the rate at which soil erodes away through activities that remove the plants that are holding the soil together, processes such as overgrazing, agriculture, deforestation, fires etc. Responsible techniques, such as not allowing animals to eat all of the vegetation or planting another crop to hold the soil in place instead of leaving the soil fallow between seasons, can help reduce erosion. Essentially, reducing the amount of soil that is left barren and without any vegetation growing in it will greatly reduce the rate of erosion.
