Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, it is a form
of soil degradation. This natural activity of erosion affects both living and
nonliving things. Soil erosion does not only shape earth's landforms, it
also affects the ecosystem especially if it happens abruptly.
Soil erosion can destroy large masses of land, affecting much of
living and nonliving things. Plants get most of its nutrients from topsoil.
Once topsoil is gone, the nutrients for plants will be carried away as well
Too much soil erosion makes the soil unable to hold and absorb
water making the soil dry, coarse eventually unfit for vegetables and other
plants. The effect of er
ion on plants would mean less food production
This may affects animals and human alike. More of it people who depend
on farming will have problem on unhealthy and unfertile soil to plant on
Another negative effect is the number cases of mining talling. These are
mineral waste after mining process may or will pollute bodies of water.
