Most agriculture activities, especially on sloping landscapes, increase the potential for soil erosion. When soil erosion is severe, soil erodes faster than it can be renewed.

Answer:

top soil is supposed to be fertile soil because it contains the most nutrients needed by plants. However, erosion removes the top soil and other organic matter. The movement of the soil either by water or air erosion affects the fertility of the soil. Erosion causes the movement or transfer of the soil from one area to another. Most likely, the original area or location of the soil before erosion is fertile but after erosion, the fertile soil are transferred to its new location making that area more fertile. The effect of erosion is detrimental to the plant. When top soil and water are removed plants cannot absorbed nutrients and soon they die.

hope it helps.
