Soil erosion

The process by which soil is added to the ground

The process by which plants grow in soil

The process by which rocks are formed

The process by which soil is moved from one place to another by wind, water, or ice.

Deforestation, overgrazing, and improper farming practices.

Reducing water usage, limiting plant growth, and avoiding erosion

Building more houses, planting more trees, and using fertilizers

Picking up litter, recycling plastic, and conserving energy

Throwing trash on the ground, driving vehicles on soil, and overgrazing animals

Pouring more water on soil, using pesticides on crops, and removing rocks from fields

Cutting down all vegetation, using chemical fertilizers, and building more roads

Planting trees, using terraces on hillsides, and practicing crop rotation.

Less desertification, reduced soil compaction, and controlled erosion

Loss of fertile soil, water pollution, and increased flooding.

Decreased air pollution, more wildlife habitats, and cleaner rivers

More rainfall, better crop yields, and healthier forests

Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice.

Plants growing in the soil

Animals walking on the soil

Humans digging into the ground

Soil erosion can decrease crop productivity and lead to soil degradation.

Soil erosion has no effect on agriculture

Soil erosion only affects animals and not plants

Soil erosion increases crop yields and improves soil quality

Soil erosion only affects land animals and not aquatic species

Soil erosion can lead to sediment buildup in rivers and lakes, harming aquatic life.

Soil erosion has no impact on aquatic ecosystems

Soil erosion increases water clarity and improves aquatic habitats

Weathering is the transportation of rocks and soil by wind, while erosion is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces

Both erosion and weathering mean the same thing

Erosion is the movement of rocks and soil by natural forces, while weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces by physical or chemical processes.

Erosion only happens on land, while weathering only happens underwater

Trees have no impact on soil erosion

Removing trees exposes the soil to erosion by wind and water

Deforestation has no effect on the environment

Deforestation helps prevent soil erosion

To create more opportunities for sediment pollution in water bodies

To increase soil erosion and improve crop productivity

To speed up the natural process of soil degradation

To maintain soil fertility and prevent loss of valuable topsoil
