Land erosion is the process by which land – for example, rocks or sand – are picked up by processes such as wind or water flows and deposited in another place. While land erosion is a natural process, human activities, including harmful agricultural practices, [[deforestation]], roads, urbanization and human contribution to [[Climate Change|climate change]] have increased erosion substantially. These activities have had serious environmental ramifications including desertification, land degradation, ecological collapse and sedimentation of waterways. All of these factors make land erosion one of the most pressing environmental concerns of today.
