SOIL EROSION
DEPLETION OF SOIL MATERIALS

•minerals can be exhausted by
       overproduction

   •soil that is depleted of
  minerals become acidic or
 sour and causes damage to
            crops

•lime and fertilizers are added
  to the soil to correct this
          condition
LOSS OF ORGANIC MATTER
•        The organic matters on the
           topsoil decays slowly.
•       Humans may disturb the this
        natural balance by planting &
            harvesting crops too
                 frequently.
    •    Sometimes wood& native
         grasses are burned down
              before plowing.
EROSION
•       a destructive process by which
          soil is lost by water & wind

    •    happens when poor farming
             method are applied
LEACHING
    •     When the field is plowed
         before planting rain soaks
           into the pulverized soil
                    easily.
•       If the material in the topsoil
          is not dissolved in water
          plants can’t absorb them
        thus the fertility of the soil is
                     lost.
SOIL PROBLEMS

 can lead to water problems too
WATER PROBLEMS


   Groundwater is depleted by humans through
    overconsumption in cities and run-off water.

   too much run-off water results from heavy rains

   deep wells supply drinking water and draw greatly on the
    supply of groundwater
WATER PROBLEMS

 water problems caused by soil problems:
    1.    droughts- aftermath of too much rain rushing immediately
          to the sea since there are less trees to store water
    2.    flood- aftermath of denudation

 these result from misuse of soil and its plant cover (due to
deforestation)
