How do these activities lead to the effect of soil erosion in the community?
A. Cutting down of trees.
Trees and plants in the soil lessen the amount soil being eroded during rainy days. When trees are cut down, Soil will
be loosened and can easily be moved by water.
B. Landslide
Loose soil in a hilly or mountainous area when moved by strong and fast water can lead to landslide.
