What is the cause of the erosion?

wind and water are the 2 causes of weathering and erosion


What are 2 possible causes of erosion?

Two possible causes of erosion are natural processes like wind, water, and glaciers carrying away soil and rock particles, and human activities such as deforestation, construction, and agriculture practices that disturb the land and increase erosion rates.


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 much soil erosion happens in a year?

On average, it is estimated that about 1-2 millimeters of topsoil are lost due to soil erosion each year globally. However, the rate of soil erosion can vary greatly depending on factors such as land use, climate, and topography. Intensive agricultural practices and deforestation can significantly accelerate soil erosion rates in certain areas.


How agriculture causes soil degradation?

Building on it , walking on it, not using it properly and contaminating it. Construction of any type, mining, deforestation, agricultural soil depletion from poor cultivation practices, creation of dams, manufacturing pollutants, sod farming, improper use of pesticides/insecticides/herbicides and fertilizers, and overpopulation in general.
