Soil erosion occurs when natural forces, such as wind and water, act on the soil. Man can also cause soil erosion by such practices as tilling a farmer's field or the clearing of vegetation.
There are ways to avoid and manage soil erosion. One of the best ways to prevent soil erosion is to increase vegetation. Plants and trees grow above the surface, protecting soil from erosion, and their roots meander down through the soil and become like bars in a prison, locking the soil particles in place, making it hard for them to escape and be carried away by water.
