Areas where soil has eroded can experience reduced fertility, decreased water retention capacity, increased vulnerability to droughts and floods, and loss of biodiversity. Erosion can also lead to sedimentation in water bodies, impacting aquatic ecosystems. Restoring vegetation and adopting conservation practices can help mitigate these effects.
Eroded soil washes away and winds up in rivers, and eventually in lakes or oceans where is becomes sediment at the bottom. Rocks can be eroded into sand. Generally, they remain part of the soil, until the soil is eroded.
Yes, the roots of trees help bind soil together, preventing erosion. When trees are removed, the soil becomes more susceptible to erosion by wind and water. This can lead to loss of topsoil and decreased soil fertility.
Eroded soil can be carried away by water, wind, or ice to various locations. It may be deposited in nearby bodies of water like rivers, lakes, or oceans, or settle on the land surface, altering the landscape. In some cases, eroded soil can also accumulate in valleys, forming sediment deposits.
Eroded soil can enter water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and streams, where they accumulate and cause sedimentation. This can lead to decreased water quality, habitat degradation, and reduced water flow capacity.
Most eroded soil ends up in bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and oceans. It can also accumulate in areas like floodplains and deltas.
The soil in this area was eroded after all the trees were cut.

Windblown, or eroded soil is 'loess'
the meager soil of an eroded plain.
It is called sediment.
Sedimentary rocks are by definition composed of little pieces of eroded rocks. So, yes!
