People can affect erosion by how they use earth's surface.
Explanation:
Stripping the earth of “anchoring plants” allows much faster soil erosion. Clear-cutting forests without planting replacement plants to retain the soil will also accelerate erosion.
Water run-off from residential and industrial areas can affect erosion if it is not properly controlled. “Off-track” motoring without regard to the environment often leaves a muddy, scarred landscape that erodes much more quickly than the natural cover would have allowed.
