Where did erosion come from?
**This answer refers to Australia When the first settlers arrived in Australia, their aim was to farm the land. With them they bought their European farming methods. These methods didn't work for the harsh Australian climate. They cleared the land and left it barren for a small amount of time. When they went to replant some crops they noticed that some of the top soil had disappeared. They found a small pile of soil further down the field. This is where the first erosion occurred. It was not until later that they discovered it was from them ploughing their fields to deeply. That is why these days farmers are more careful with the depth they plough their fields at.

Why study soil mechanics as a separate discipline?
Soil Mechanics like fluids mechanics and structural mechanics and engineering surveying are the core disciplines of civil engineering for well over 70 years from the days of Terzaghi, father of soil mechanics. It is a separate discipline since soil behaviour cannot be predicted like the methods used for testing the behaviour of structures and fluids,yet ideas similar to these disciplines have been used but the testing and classification of soil had to be on its own. Now the discipline has a broad base to be known as geotechnics or geotechnical engineering.
