Erosion is a natural part of the environment; it is when it interferes with human needs that it becomes âbad.â. Even when nutrient-rich materials like topsoil are removed by erosion, the nutrients are transported elsewhere â the loss in one place is a benefit in another. But that other benefit may not be something suitable to people.
Erosion can be classified as either natural erosion or human-caused erosion. If the erosion is caused as a result of construction, agriculture or a variety of other human activities, it is not considered natural erosion.
