What do you mean by weathering?
Does weathering causes Soil Erosion?
When rocks are broken down into
different pieces, it does not stay in one
place. Some rock fragments become part
of the soil. Others are transferred from
one place to another.
The movement of rock fragments and soil
from one place to another is called
erosion.
Materials that are transported due to
erosion are called sediments.

What factor usually affect the landform
of the area?
Observe the picture below: Soil erosion greatly affects the land and
living things on Earth. It carries away the
topsoil on Earth’s surface where plants
anchor their roots firmly. It changes
landforms on Earth’s surface. It is
estimated that the topsoil is eroding faster
than it forms in more than one-third of
the world's agricultural land. How would
it affect all of us?
What can you say about the picture?
Let us know first the meaning of these
some words that you will encounter in
this lesson:
slope - is an inclined surface of land; the
rise or fall of the land surface
steep -rising or falling sharply

Land Slope Affects Erosion

erosion.
Roots of trees and other plants absorb
water as it rains, but some unabsorbed
water still flows downward, washing
away soil. If the surface is greatly
slanted, the water that flows has greater
force and thus carries soil. This results in
greater and faster erosion.
Steep slopes have a greater impact on soil
composition than surfaces with a slight
slant.
The minerals and organic content present
in the soil moves down toward the slope,
due to heavy rainfall. Soil erosion is
experienced higher in slopes with less
vegetation.
In general, the steeper and longer a slope
is, the faster water runs off of it, and the
greater potential there is for erosion. But
many other factors come into play in
determining what becomes of a slope
over time when exposed to stormwater
runoff. In some landscapes, extremely
steep slopes can be observed with dense
vegetation and little or no erosion, while
other locations with more moderate
slopes develop into barren gullies. This is
because many other factors come into
play -- soil type and the past use and
management of the slope have a major
landforms. As water seeps through a hill
or a mountain, the soil may loosen, and
landslide may occur changing the shapes
of the mountain or a hill. Some soil
particles may be carried to the streams,
lakes, and rivers. This will lead to
flooding of the lower areas in the
community that could destroy lives and
properties.
Shortage of Food Supply
The loss of topsoil results in a lesser
harvest of farmers, poor quality of
crops, and lesser income for the farmers.
How would it affect non-farmers like
you? If the farmers would have less
harvest, there will be a food shortage in
the community. The food will be
expensive and so most people will be
malnourished and easily affected by
diseases. Farmers will have less income
and the economy of the country will be
affected.
Flooding and Siltation
Aside from food shortage, people will
suffer from floods as there are no Roots
of plants to absorb water. Soil erosion
can also damage fisheries and dam
reservoirs,
as siltation happens at the lower ground
within the area.
Erosion brought about by water can wash
mine tailing to nearby bodies of water
and pollute them. Polluted seas and rivers
can affect aquatic plants and animals, as
well as the potable water supply of
animals and humans.

E. Discussing new concepts and
practicing new skills #2.
Factors Affecting Soil Erosion
Just like in weathering, there are different
factors affecting soil erosion. It includes
water, wind, animals, and humans.
Erosion by Water
As water flows, it transports rocks and
soil particles from one place to another.
The speed of flowing water affects the
rate of erosion. The faster the water
flows, the farther the erosion would be.
Faster movement of water can cause
many sediments to be carried away by the
water.
As water aids erosion, its color changes
depending on the color of the rock and
the soil particles it carries. For example,
water that flows from a mountain can be
brown because of the soil particles from
the mountain that it carries. Mud left on
the ground after flooding is also evidence
of erosion.
role to play, as well as the condition of
the land above the slope.
Strength and Volume of Running
Water
Soil erosion has been considered the
primary cause of soil degradation because
soil erosion leads to the loss of topsoil
and soil organic matter, which are
essential for the growing of plants.
A current, in a river or stream, is the flow
of water influenced by gravity as the
water moves downhill to reduce its
potential energy. Water current is the rate
of movement
in the water, and ways to describe water
current include its speed and direction.
There are different types of water
currents that behave in different ways
because they are affected by separate
variables. Strength and volume of
running water play a huge role in soil
erosion. A gentle slope may be less prone
to erosion, but the slope’s length can
prove to be a detrimental factor.
Soil erosion cannot be prevented since
this is naturally occurring in the
environment. However, some practices
can control soil erosion and its harmful
effects.
Farmers use different techniques to
prevent erosion. They use some common
farming techniques in planting their
crops, such as contour plowing, terracing,
and strip cropping. This
technique lessens the soil carried away by
the different agents of soil erosion.
Contour Plowing – Since erosion easily
takes place on a slope, farmers who plant
on mountainsides follow the contours or
curves of the land instead of planting the
crops up and down
the slope to slow down the flow of water
and the soil that it carries.
Strip Cropping – It involves alternately
planting different crops in strips. These
crops are planted across the slope, too. In
this method, grass and other plants that
grow close to the ground
are planted in strips between bands of
grain crops. The strip crops lessen the
soil erosion since
they hold much water in the soil.
Terracing – Farmers build wide flat
rows of terraces on mountainsides to act
as a ridge to help slow down the flow of
water that carries soil. By doing so, the
rate of erosion also slows down.
Erosion by Wind
As the wind blows, it carries light
particles of rocks and soil, transporting
and depositing them in another place.
Strong winds carry the particles of soil to
a distant place.
Wind erosion can take place in an area
where the soil is Not compacted. When
the wind blows, the particles of sand
move along with it. Light particles of soil
can easily be blown away by the wind.
Erosion by wind contributes a lot to
shaping the Earth's surface. An example
of this is the formation of dunes.
These are ridges of sand formed by the
wind and are usually found in desert or
shorelines. Dunes are formed when the
wind blows sand into a secluded area. As
sand accumulates, the dunes grow and
vary in shape. An example of dunes can
be found in Ilocos Norte.
Erosion by Animlals
Crop Rotation – Refers to planting crops
in a different spot each year. Doing so
helps the soil maintain its good quality. A
soil that has a good quality is moist.
Moist soil cannot be carried away easily
by wind and water.
Character or type of soil – Some types
of soil erode easily than others. Some soil
has a fine texture and some have a rough
texture. Soil with finer particles like sand
and silt can be eroded easily
than bigger soil particles of clay. Loam
soil contains more organic nutrients that
can hold more water
and reduce the flow of soil particles.
When the wind blows on land without
plants or vegetation, the dry soil breaks
apart, making the lighter particles be
blown to other places.
A dust storm may occur which will carry
the soil to other places and form a new
landform. Wind erosion can take place in
any area where the soil is dry and not
compacted. Water also carries soil
particles. As water flows, it transports
small rocks and soil particles easily
compared to the bigger ones.

F. Developing Mastery
(Lead to Formative Assessment 3)
Animals also contribute to the
transportation of sediments. When
burrowing animals dig the ground, some
rock and soil particles to their bodies. As
they move from place to place. They
carry such particles, too.
Erosion by Human
Although erosion is a natural
phenomenon, humans have a major
contribution to the rate of soil erosion in
the environment. Whenever we walk, the
soil clings to our shoes, so the soil gets
transported from place to place.
Other human activities like gardening can
also erosion
since soil moves as we dig the ground.
When quarrying, the impact created by
blasting rocks and soil particles triggers
soil erosion. Huge volumes of soil and
sand also get transported when they are
used in the construction of houses and
other infrastructure.
