Erosion is mainly caused by water, but deforestation, over-grazing, wind, and tectonic movement can also play a role. As for mountainsides specifically, i would have to say deforestation.
Firstly the removal of trees is a removal of nutrients and minerals from the soil as the source of humus is greatly reduced. ... Overgrazing, over cropping and or deforestation can lead to desertification - the spread of desert like lands due to these humanactivities accelerating natural erosion of soil.
Deforestation results in soil erosion because the usual trees that were holding the soil in place has been destroyed causing the area to be easily infiltrated by various types of erosion factors
Soil erosion and depletion are the major threats to soil as a resource. Both human and natural factors can lead to degradation of soils . Factors which lead to soil degradation are deforestation, overgrazing, overuse of chemical fertilisers or pesticides, rain wash, landslides and floods.
soi Soil erosion is many things but, it is mostly the washing away of soil by the elements. Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind. Other causes of soil erosion can be plowing, deforestation, animal interference, and the land’s topography.

Soil erosion can be increased by wind, water, or over tilling the land.
soil erosion anddestruction
Deforestation will cause soil erosion.
Deforestation cause l;and pollution because when we cut don the trees, the soil will become loose and soil erosion will take place.
It is strip mining and deforestation

No, The crop rotation is to avoide soil erosion.
