What is soil erosion?

The denudation of the soil cover and subsequent washing down is described as soil erosion. The processes of soil formation and erosion, go on simultaneously and generally there is a balance between the two. Sometimes, this balance is disturbed due to human activities like deforestation, over-grazing, construction and mining etc., while natural forces like wind, glacier and water lead to soil erosion.

A third environmental impact resulting from human activity is soil erosion. Soil erosion is when particles of soil are transported (carried) by either water, wind, or ice. Soil erosion occurs every time it rains or there is a windy day.

Erosion from the movement of ice is rarer and occurs where continental and alpine glaciers are found. 3.1 How long has soil erosion been going on? Whereas certain types of air and water pollution are relatively recent phenomenon, soil erosion is nothing new.

Societies have been farming on the delta lands built up at the mouths of rivers for centuries. It's also important to remember that erosion is a natural process. 3.2 So what's the big deal?

Why is soil erosion such a problem? The issue is not that soil erosion is occurring but the amount of erosion that is occurring as a result of human activity. In the last 100 years, the rate of erosion has increased substantially, even more so in the last fifty years as the human activities that disturb soil ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
