The answer is D) Limited Deforestation


Erosion is described as the 'gradual destruction of something' or in geography terms, a surface process which removes soil, rock, and similar materials due to external forces such as wind and water.

Examples of erosion can be seen in riverbeds and the Grand Canyon's majestic characteristics are due to an ancient river eroding the the rock base of the area.

However, erosion also results in limited deforestation. Due to urbanization and cutting down of trees we can today see an increase in climate change and global warming. Deforestation is actually a positive attribute that protects greenery in an area.
