**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.
What else can I help you with?
How does erosion increase?
Erosion increases when there is a flood and when land is plowed and there is no cover crop that would prevent wind erosion.
What are three different types of erosion?
The four types or mechanisms of erosion are rill erosion, gully erosion, stream bank erosion, and sheet erosion. In sheet erosion a thin layer of the surface is removed. In rill erosion, small rivulets of running water gather together and cut small channels. In gully erosion, rills enlarge to form bigger channels too large to be removed by normal tillage. Finally, streambank erosion is the washing away of soil from banks of streams and rivers. Erosion is a natural, continuous process, but agricultural practices can speed erosion, resulting in lost soil, lost soil fertility, air pollution, and water pollution. Wind and water are the main agents that move soil.

What does slow erosion mean?
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion
Where sediment come from?
Sediments come from the erosion of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
What is the driving force for erosion?
the driving force for erosion is , when bad things come out of driving that involves erosion.
Where did sedimentary deposits come from?
Sedimentary deposits came from and still come from the weathering and erosion of surface features and from the deposition of the remains of organisms.
Where did sediment come from?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
Sand and other pieces of rock are moved by erosion and settled by deposition?
Almost correct.Sand and other pieces of rock are removed by erosion, and transported by wind or water to the point at which they come to rest and are deposited.
Why does erosion happen before deposition?
Erosion occurs before deposition because erosion is the process of wearing away and carrying away rocks and soil, while deposition is the process of depositing these particles in a new location. Erosion usually happens first because it is the initial step in the movement of sediments from one place to another, eventually leading to their deposition.
How are wind erosion and water erosion different?
by wind erosion the soil is carried by the wind. as in a storm, the soil is carried by the wind. by water erosion the soil is carried by the water. as in high tides the soil is taken by the water that come to the shore. as in order to prevent this, we should plant more trees and plants because the roots of these plants hold the soil together.

How come the Grand Canyon is still changing?
Becaus the flowing water of the Colorado River is a constant source of erosion.
What are types of erosions?
Types of erosions include sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of soil is removed by rainfall or runoff, while rill erosion creates small channels in the soil. Gully erosion forms larger, deeper channels, and streambank erosion refers to the wearing away of soil along river or stream banks.
Are kettle lakes sculpt by erosion or deposition?
erosion
Where does sand on a beach come from?
The sand comes from the erosion of the land. Some sand also comes from the calcium (a mineral) in seaweed.
