WRITTEN WORK 2
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
 Investigate extent of soil erosion in the community and its effects on living things and the environment (S5FE -
IVb – 2)

This time, you will learn about soil erosion and its effects on living things and the environment. 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 which is called erosion. Materials that are transported due to
erosion are called sediments. Erosion of rock fragments contributes to the soil formation as well as formation
of landforms.
Soil erosion does not only shape Earth’s landforms, it also affects the ecosystem, especially if it happens
unexpectedly. It can destroy roads and bridges. The roads become rugged. Traveling will be difficult and long.
Repair of roads will cost the government much money. Erosion affects the land. It can change its shape and size.
Human activities such as deforestation, illegal logging, and quarrying also increase the effects of soil erosion in the
environment.
