Soil erosion is mainly caused by rain, wind, flooding, overgrazing, soil exhaustion and deforestation.

∙ 13y agoWater is the cause of soil erosion, because when the water flows with an high speed it washes or carries the soil with it causing soil erosion.
To prevent soil erosion we must plant more trees, because the roots of the trees hold the soil tightly and prevent from getting washed away.
Wind also erodes soil by lifting the soil particles and carrying them away. (i.e. "Dust Bowl" of the 1930's in the central US) Planting grass cover crops helps prevent erosion with their fibrous root systems.
