Answer:

The disadvantages of soil erosion are that it reduces the thickness of the rooting medium for plants and the soil water-holding capacity — making productive agriculture more difficult. Wind carries away the upper soil layers (topsoil) which are often rich in organic matter and increases soil fertility. In the case of a base for construction (roads, buildings), soils are usually removed by machines to provide a more solid base.

The advantages of erosion are that it deposits the eroded soils on river floodplains, loess plains, and deltas which become highly productive for long periods, such as the Nile delta. Deposition can rejuvenate soils after the harvesting of crops or removal of trees. Also, erosion may expose new, mineral-rich rock layers to the elements that, when weathered, can create increasingly fertile soils.
