The document discusses the lithosphere and erosion. It defines the lithosphere and lists some internal geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It also discusses external geological processes like different types of erosion caused by water, wind, human activity, glaciers, and more. Specifically, it outlines some examples of anthropic erosion caused by inadequate agricultural practices, removing vegetation, and forest fires. The consequences of anthropic erosion include desertification, loss of nutrients, floods, and more.

15. Type of erosion

16. Anthropic Erosion

17. Anthropic Erosion
• Inadequate agricultural practices
-planting crops on hills or inclined land where
minerals can be washed away

18. Anthropic Erosion
• Inadequate agricultural practices
-too many animals in the same grazing field

19. Anthropic Erosion
• Eliminating vegetation on forest floors:
mechanically, chemically or by using fire.

20. Anthropic Erosion
• Recurrent Forest fires

21. Consecuences
• Desertification
• Overexploitation loss of nutrients

22. Consecuences
• Extraction of mineral resources
• Overexploitation impermeable floors floods
