combined. As a result‚ humans play a vital role through utilizing and abusing of natural resources. Soil is exposed to erosion by two specific human activities: over-cultivation and deforestation. Also‚ another major source for soil erosion is overgrazing. Deforestation is the process of removing trees from an area of land. When forests are cut down‚ the now exposed topsoil becomes saturated with water over time. This topsoil layer eventually slides off into the waterway and leaves behind the subsoil
