Question

In your second paragraph, state why erosion is a problem. Explain how erosion can harm an ecosystem and ruin the value of a natural resource. If you can, find out how long it takes new soil to form and explain why we should be concerned about losing soil to erosion

Answer 1

Erosion is natural as the process is done by water, wind, or different natural agents, however, erosion harms our ecosystem by deteriorating the soil and ground making the soil have less minerals. Once our soil loses the minerals to erosion, then our plants will not be as healthy, or they will stop growing all together, then our animals will be affected because they will not have plants to eat which will lead to the animals dying, which will then lead to humans dying as we cannot eat plants because our soil is no longer good enough to grow plants and we will not be able to eat animals as they were not able to eat the plants. 

Answer 2

• The loss of soil from agricultural and nonagricultural land is a serious threat to all around the world.
• The removal of the top layer of the soil because of wind and moving water is called soil erosion but this is the natural process of erosion.
• While deforestation and other human activities like domesticated animal grazing led to soil erosion.
