The Importance of Erosion Control Services


Erosion is the natural process that wears away soil, rock and sand. It is what makes a river valley muddy after a rain storm, and why the steep mountains of New Zealand’s fjord country erode so quickly.

Several factors impact erosion, including climate, topography and vegetation. Human activities can also impact erosion. For example, farming and the over-grazing of livestock can leave soil vulnerable to erosion.

Water

Water is the most powerful erosion agent, and is responsible for shaping Earth’s landforms. It erodes rocks by crashing them together, cracking and wearing them down. It also carries and deposits soil particles. It is the force behind river and stream erosion, carving out canyons like the Fish River Canyon in Namibia, for example.
