Trees are a natural cover against heavy rain and general water. However, when these trees are taken away, the soil gets the brute force of the rain without cover. Furthermore, when there is a flood or there is excess rain, the plants can't take in this water, and the soil has to soak it all up. When the water can't be soaked up, it sits on the soil, reducing its fertility and more importantly causing soil erosion. I hope I helped.
What else can I help you with?
What may contribute to the soil from being washed away?
Deforestation will cause soil erosion.
How does deforestation cause pollution?
Deforestation cause l;and pollution because when we cut don the trees, the soil will become loose and soil erosion will take place.
What is one cause of an erosion?
One cause of erosion is the removal of vegetation, such as deforestation or overgrazing, which can leave the soil exposed to the elements and vulnerable to being washed or blown away.
Is deforestation a cause of soil erosion because it leaves the soil bare and exposed?
Yes, plus it also removes the tree roots that hold the soil together.
What human activities cause soil erosion?
there are many human activities which cause soil erosion here is one of them; deforestation: cutting down of trees on large scale cause the degradation of soil because when rain comes and there are trees trees do not allow soil to move from its place .
How does land pollution causes?
Deforestation cause l;and pollution because when we cut don the trees, the soil will become loose and soil erosion will take place.
How does a person cause soil erosion?

What is the major and domino effect of deforestation?
soil erosion anddestruction
When erosion and other factors cause soil to lose its ability to hold water and other nutrients and to support plant life?
Deforestation
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.
48 List two human activities and two natural events that can cause a large increase in the rate of soil erosion?
Human activities such as deforestation and improper agricultural practices can cause a large increase in the rate of soil erosion. Natural events like heavy rainfall and strong winds can also contribute to accelerated soil erosion.
What forms soil erosion?
Soil erosion can occur through water erosion (like rainfall washing away soil) or wind erosion (where soil particles are carried away by the wind). Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and improper agricultural practices can also contribute to soil erosion.
