Erosion Impacts Construction activities, such as grading and filling, drastically reduce soil quality on construction sites. Left unprotected, sites will be further degraded by erosion and begin to adversely affect the surrounding environment. The goal of soil quality management on construction sites is to revegetate for protection against
This is in my own words. The process of wearing away soil and rocks and carrying pieces away is called erosion. Erosion can be caused by wind, gravity, water etc. Humans can also cause erosion usually through poor land management. …
