Why does soil erosion increase flooding?

Which of the following human activities has caused an increase in soil erosion? (1 point) clear-cut logging, clearing land for construction, plowing land

  • Answer:

    Agriculture and Construction. Humans are stripping soil from the surface of the Earth far faster than nature can replace it. Accelerated soil erosion is the loss of soil at a much faster rate than it is formed. It's a far more recent problem. It is always a result of mankind's unwise actions, such as overgrazing or unsuitable cultivation practices.
