Protecting soil from erosion and weathering.

 Erosion and weathering are the ways how the soil is being destroyed. Weathering breaks down the materials in the earth’s crust into sediments and there can be chemical weathering and physical weathering. Physical weathering can be done by wind, water and temperature. Erosion in the other hand is when weathered rocks are being carried away by gravity, water, wind and ice. Both erosion and weathering work together and change the environment. So as soil is only a very thin layer of lithosphere we must protect every inch of it and we all should be aware of the threats that come along with the degradation of the soil and how the chain soil-plant-animal-human will be lost if we continue to damage the soil.
