People (farmers) used to contribute heavily to erosion by plowing under their fields in the fall. The current practice of "no till" (letting crop residue stand over the winter) has greatly decreased erosion because the root systems of dead crops hold the soil in place until the following spring.

People can contribute to soil erosion through activities such as deforestation, improper agricultural practices, overgrazing, and construction without proper erosion control measures. These actions can result in the removal of vegetation cover, which reduces the soil's ability to absorb and retain water, leading to increased erosion by wind and water. Additionally, the disturbance of natural landscapes can increase the vulnerability of soils to erosion.

What contributes to erosion?
Rocks contribute to erosion and so does soil.
What is the process of soil formation called?
The process is known as Pedogenesis. Erosion and siltation are two of the mechanisms that contribute to pedogenesis.
How do human activity contribute to soil erosion?
yes.Humans can contribute to erosion in many ways. One of which is when land is used for industrial agriculture such as: livestock, poultry, fish, and crops.An example of this would be when land is used for crops. When the land is plowed it disturbs soil and plant roots which cause the soil to become loose which in effect cause it to be more easily moved, i.e erosion.
What are the activities of man that may contribute to erosion?
We should not leave the land barren but do some fielding on it so that the nutrients present in the soil does not leave the soil during rainy season and the soil can be protected with its nutrients and erosion could not take place
How the human activities cause weathering of rocks and soil in logging?
I don't know.......my question is... how does erosion contribute to flooding?
How do people and animals become agents of soil erosion?
Animals and people both contribute to soil erosion. This is done by grazing and migration. Humans also erode soil by farming.
How do animals contribute soil erosion?
by eating the soil
