The loss of topsoil to wind, rain, and other forces is a natural process, but when intensified by human activity, it can have negative environmental, societal, and economic impacts. What Is Erosion? Erosion is a geological process in which earthen materials (i.e., soil, rocks, sediments) ...
While erosion is a natural process, it can also be exacerbated by human activity. For example, deforestation can lead to increased erosion, as the roots of trees help to anchor the soil in place. Similarly, construction and other forms of development can disrupt natural drainage patterns, leadin...

sheet flow erosion and rill erosion on the slope are the main soil erosion patterns; sediment yield occurs mainly in flood season. Human activity and individual precipitation are two important factors that control the soil erosion at a small watershed. Comprehensive management on the slope in a sm...

The abrasive action of sand and pebbles washed againstshorelinesis probably the most significant wave erosional activity. Particles are dragged back and forth by wave ac...
Studies on the influence of natural resource utilization by humans on foraging behavior of honey bees at rural ecosystems Human utilization of natural resources acts as a main driver in altering the ecosystem service and functions. Apart from indirect influence, these human ac... S Soorangkattan,...
That induced by human activity is accelerated.Physical processes The transfer of momentum from raindrops to soil can impart velocity to individual particles, bringing them into motion in the process of rainsplash erosion. Since momentum is a product of the mass and terminal velocity of the rain...
We suggest that enhanced human activity (deforestation, cultivation, and mining) since the end of the Chinese Han Dynasty (220 CE) has overwhelmed the natural climatic controls on erosion in the Red River. 展开 DOI: 10.1130/G36570.1 被引量: 56 ...
