Soil Erosion
If human beings carry out reasonable production activities, they can make it impossible for these natural factors to be in a bad state at the same time, thus slowing down the frequency of soil erosion.
In recent years, with the development of the world economy, the problem of soil erosion has been paid more and more attention. So, what are the causes and hazards of soil erosion? How to solve soil erosion? Let’s take a look below!
In many countries, the main cause of soil erosion is due to poor natural conditions and unreasonable daily activities of human beings. The main causes of erosion are uneven ground with a high slope; soft soil texture, which is easily eroded; heavy rainfall in the rainy season, which covers the ground with forest and other vegetation.
Human unreasonable daily activities such as some people do not have a strong sense of environmental protection and regularly cut down trees to open up the land, the grassland is flooded with cattle and sheep, overgrazing, excessive mining, etc. Soil erosion is the result of the interaction between natural and human factors.
“Natural factors include the topography, geomorphology, climate, and soil of the country.”
The human factor is that human beings are too conscious of protecting nature, they plunder natural resources excessively, they exploit natural resources excessively, for example, they cut down trees irregularly, they cut down trees and then open up the land unreasonably, they overgraze the grassland, they flood the cattle and sheep, they mine ores for money, they build factories with pollutants, they dump waste soil and slag at will, and so on.
These unreasonable human activities are the main reason why natural factors are in a bad state at the same time, thus leading to soil erosion. If human beings carry out reasonable production activities, they can make it impossible for these natural factors to be in a bad state at the same time, thus slowing down the frequency of soil erosion.
But what are the main harmful effects of soil erosion?
