Why is land-building stronger than erosion?

Answer 1

Land-building is stronger than erosion because when we build roads it increases erosion rates because it reduces the natural ground cover usually found on untouched soil. Building roads also changes the drainage pattern of soil. Another way to break down natural erosion is through logging, which is compacting the soil, or grazing by animals, which exposes soil to animal waste and chemicals. Another example of land building is tilling the soil. When someone tills the land, whether for industrial or personal use, it reduces the vegetation cover on the surface of the soil and disturbs both soil structure and plant roots that would usually hold soil in place.

Erosion is done natural with normal weathering. The wind places a big part in erosion. One example of erosion is the Grand Canyon. The wind and water made the Grand Canyon a natural wonder. Erosion is healthy for our ecosystem as long as it is done in natural ways instead of building a bunch of roads or using the land for agricultural use. We have to take care of what God has given us, if we do not then we are making our planet non existent in the years to come.

Answer 2

Neither is stronger. Erosion and deposition are in balance, if they were not then matter would either be being created or destroyed and that would violate the fundamental rules of Physics.
