Animals that cause soil erosion include:
- grazing stock animals such as cattle and sheep
- large animals with heavy hooves and feet such as horses and camels
- burrowing animals such as rabbits and mice
- herbivorous animals that eat the tips and shoots of young trees, such as rabbits and hares

How can people and animals cause soil erosion?
Humans can contribute to erosion in many ways. One of which is when land is used for industrial agriculture such as: livestock, poultry, fish, and crops. An example of this would be when land is used for crops. When the land is plowed it disturbs soil and plant roots which cause the soil to become loose which in effect cause it to be more easily moved, i.e erosion.
How do floods cause soil erosion and soil erosion causes floods?
Floods cause soil erosion by carrying away topsoil and sediments as the water flows rapidly over the land, stripping away the soil. This can lead to the loss of fertile soil for agriculture and damage to aquatic ecosystems. On the other hand, soil erosion can cause floods by depositing large amounts of sediment into rivers and streams, which can block water flow and increase the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall events.
Which does NOT cause soil erosion?
The succession of plants over a patch of bare ground. The more plants that cover a piece of bare earth the less erosion takes place. Not only that, but the more deeper and healthier the root systems of those plants the more the soil will be held together. Planting grasses, forbs and even some trees will help reduce erosion.
What is the main cause of soil erosion?
Farmers could not farm a field for one year, or you could do something to help control flooding. You can also put ditches around the field to catch the eroded soil. Soil erosion's are caused when deforestation is followed. The roots of the trees holds the soil firmly underground to prevent soil erosion as well as to get nutrients for themselves from the soil. But when people starts to chop down trees erosion's will naturally follow up. Erosion is caused by the improper turning or improper treatment of soil, leading to unhealthy soil, which eventually lead to erosion. People can prevent erosion by taking proper care of the soil and tilling and turning it properly so the soil can stay healthy.
How do tornadoes effect erosion?
Tornadoes can contribute to erosion by removing vegetation cover, disturbing soil, and transporting debris at high speeds. The strong winds associated with tornadoes can lift and carry sediments over long distances, leading to soil erosion in affected areas. Heavy rainfall accompanying tornadoes can also exacerbate erosion by washing away topsoil and causing sediment buildup in waterways.

What effect does washing away of soil have on ecosystem?
The washing away of soil, known as soil erosion, can have negative effects on ecosystems. It can lead to loss of fertile soil and nutrients, which can impact plant growth and productivity. Additionally, erosion can result in sedimentation of water bodies, leading to poor water quality and disruption of aquatic ecosystems.

How do tornadoes impact non living things?
Tornadoes damage and destroy manmade structures and can cause some soil erosion.
What are some causes of loss of soil?
Erosion
What are some of the inorganic compoents of soil?
Clay, sand, and silt are inorganic components of soil. The above-mentioned trio cause soil to be called "dirt." They result from the erosion of rocks by rain, weather, and wind.
How do animals bring about soil erosion?
There has been some total clearing of the rainforest. There has been some logging. There are roads put in that: help weeds to invade, open up the canopy increasing light that changes what can live there, open up the canopy causing water loss that changes what can live there, cause a lot of erosion that damages the fringing reef. Spread a lot of pollutants Fed themselves to the crocodiles / got angry and killed the crocodiles Caused rapid climate change which threatens immediately greater storm damage and then . . . who knows?
Why do feral animals in Australia cause erosion?
I am no scientist but I'll tell you what i know. Some feral animals eat vegetation which exposes fine soils to wind and water erosion. whilst other feral animals just destroy native animals that keep things in balance, things such as cats that destroy birds whose droppings carry seeds that will form more vegetation with less birds there is less vegetation and as i said without vegetation the sand is exposed to erosion.
Is soil damage and soil erosion the same thing?
No, it is not the same. Soil erosion is when the soil gets taken away by wind and storm and stuff. But soil damage is when the soil is damaged bye insects or some type of damage...
