Erosion wears away materials. For example the sea erodes cliffs and rocks because the salt in the water rubs against the rock creating friction. The same happens in deserts. The sand is blown up and wears away rocks creating different shapes. Acid rain also causes a form of erosion, and in time monuments and buildings may wear away.

∙ 13y agoApproximately 40% of the world's agricultural land is seriously degraded.[5] According to the UN, an area of fertile soil the size of Ukraine is lost every year because of drought, deforestation and climate change.[6] In Africa, if current trends of soil degradation continue, the continent might be able to feed just 25% of its population by 2025, according to UNU's Ghana-based Institute for Natural Resources in Africa.[7]

When land is overused by animal activities (including humans), there can be mechanical erosion and also removal of vegetation leading to erosion. In the case of the animal kingdom, this effect would become material primarily with very large animal herds stampeding such as the Blue Wildebeest on the Serengeti plain. Even in this case there are broader material benefits to the ecosystem, such as continuing the survival of grasslands, that are indigenous to this region. This effect may be viewed as anomalous or a problem only when there is a significant imbalance or overpopulation of one species.
In the case of human use, the effects are also generally linked to overpopulation. When large number of hikers use trails or extensive off road vehicle use occurs, erosive effects often follow, arising from vegetation removal and furrowing of foot traffic and off road vehicle tires. These effects can also accumulate from a variety of outdoor human activities, again simply arising from too many people using a finite land resource.
One of the most serious and long-running water erosion problems worldwide is in the People's Republic of China, on the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. From the Yellow River, over 1.6 billion tons of sediment flows into the ocean each year. The sediment originates primarily from water erosion in the Loess Plateau region of the northwest.

For example, Coastal erosion. Longshore drift 'steals' beaches, leaving cliffs exposed. The sea erodes the cliffs with it's incessant waves, causing the land to fall, destroying whatever trees etc. Was on it. In the same way, rivers widen their banks at the expense of the organisms on the banks. Wind blows sand, which erodes rocks. Rocks in the desert are most affected. The result is that the habitats of desert lizards etc. are destroyed. There are further erosion types, but the general answer is the erosion results indirectly in the destruction of habitats especially on the coast.

∙ 15y agoDepends on the nature of the erosion.
Most cases of erosion being "bad" are due to loss of property. A river erodes farmland, or ocean waves cut away shoreline.
Extreme cases are Landslides of varying degrees, Large landslides can trigger massive waves if they occur underwater, threatening Coastlines. Any slide on land is potentially "bad" if humans or their interests are involved.

Gasoline is good for cars and bad for drinking. Lots of people inhale the chemicals and are sent to a vet because they could show characteristics of an animal
bubblicious is bad for your teeth cuz it gives more cavities to ur teeth!!! the bubblicious it taste good but its bad for ur teeth. when u buy a bubblicious it doesn't said the sugar and also the calories!!!!
the good points of coal are it gives us electricity, we need to power our vehicles.Because you can reuse it but the bad thing is that it takes a long time to heat up ..... !!
Internet helps us learn new things and meet people, but sometimes it can get addictive. So basically Internet is good and bad
There is no good or bad science. If you enjoy it, it can be categorised as good science but if you do not like science it is bad science
The bad effects of soil erosion are: loss of productive land, loss of topsoil, and increased risk of flooding.
BOTH!
good effect: keeps hair in place bad effect: chemicals that are in it
Erosion can have both positive and negative effects. It plays a natural role in shaping landscapes and creating habitats, but excessive erosion due to factors like deforestation or improper land use can lead to environmental problems such as loss of soil fertility and sedimentation in water bodies. It is important to manage erosion to maintain a balance in ecosystems.
Erosion can be both good and bad for the environment. While it is a natural process that helps shape landscapes and create habitats, excessive erosion due to factors like deforestation and overgrazing can lead to soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, and water pollution. Balancing natural erosion processes with sustainable land management practices is key to minimizing negative impacts on the environment.

Erosion can be both good and bad depending on the context. While natural erosion processes can shape landscapes, provide new habitats, and recycle nutrients, excessive erosion caused by human activities such as deforestation or improper land use can lead to loss of fertile soil, water pollution, and habitat destruction. It is important to manage erosion to maintain a healthy environment.
It certainly gives us useful information - basically, it lets us detect whether an object is moving towards us or away from us, and at what speed.

There are good and bad social effects of tourism. A good effect is that there will be money to spend on public facilities and festivals. A bad effect is that the city may become overcrowded and lead to increased crime.
BAD EFFECTS:Acid RainBurning of Wood
