How do humans affect erosion by logging?
Human beings may cause erosion by activities such as farming or games. They may also cause erosion by cutting down trees and other vegetation that act as windbreakers.
Definition of Biotic agents of soil erosion?
soil erosion is washing away of soil or carring away of soil from one place to another
What is the major cause of erosion on Earth's surface?
- Rainfall which contains tiny particles of grit and dust; it is the dust and grit which actually erode such things as mountains. - ice erodes as it moves - wind erodes such things as soil - shorelines are erode by the pounding of waves. Related link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion#Causes
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
What types of soil erosion is found in southern Africa?
well the types of soil erosion is coil cooper and timber ! hope it helps
How does soil conservation help us?
It helps by prevented soil erosion and to prevent dust storms.
Does burning fossil fuels cause more or less pollution than soil erosion dust storms and forest fires?
Burning fossil fuels will cause less pollution than soil erosion, dust storms, and forest fires. Soil erosion pollutes waterways. Dust storms spreads air pollutants, and forest fires are one of the largest polluters in the world, releasing carbon dioxide and other products of combustion into the atmosphere.
When and where does soil erosion happen?
Soil erosion happens when wind or rain blow or wash away the soil. Dust storms and landslides are soil erosion, often encouraged by intensive plowing of the land or tree felling on mountain slopes.
How hard was it living in the dust bowl?
It was very difficult. You couldn't farm because the soil became sand, there was dust storms all the time, and tons of erosion.

How were dust storm's caused?
From soil erosion.
How trees are useful to us in your locality?
They act as windbreaks, which helps to mitigate the effects of dust storms and blizzards. They also help anchor the soil around rivers, reducing the soil erosion due to spring flooding.
How can we reduced soil erosion?
I don't understand what type of soil erosion you mean, but the simplest form of reducing soil erosion is by planting grasses, shrubs, and trees. The roots hold down the soil and it is not whisked away by wind or precipitation. A good example of soil erosion is the dust bowl in mid-west North America in the 1930's. Due to over irrigation, the soil was without nutrition and there was nothing for the roots to hold onto, so the plants died. And due to the lack of plants, the wind whisked away the dust, creating huge amounts of dust storms, covering whole cities for months at a time. Hope this helps! -DrkMnlight
What happened to create the dust bowl inn the 1930s?
A long period (years) of drought led to the dust bowl in the 1930s. This left the top soil prone to wind erosion. When winds came, it created dust storms that killed many because you cannot breathe in dust.
What kind of storm caused soil erosion?
Sand storms, heavy winds
What to causes contributed to the dust bowl?
Soil erosion. Overworked land and drought
How does erosion make soil?
Erosion does not make soil, but rather removes it. Erosion is the process of wearing away or transport of soil and rock particles by wind, water, or ice. This can result in the loss of topsoil, which is the fertile layer of soil rich in nutrients.
