Soil erosion is a critical environmental issue exacerbated by factors such as wind and water. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s serves as a stark reminder of the damage that can occur when soil is exposed. This guide explores soil conservation farming techniques, including crop rotation, and highlights the five agents of erosion: gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind. Additionally, we discuss types of mass movement such as landslides and mudflows, illustrating how these processes reshape our land over time. Learn about the importance of soil conservation for preventing erosion.

Soil erosion and mass movement By: ToriGillens
Soil conservation farming techniques: • Crop rotation is one soil conservation farming techniques. Soil conservation is important and we know this because of the United States 1930s eight year Dust Bowl. For eight years dust blew on the southern plains.
The kind of damage that can happen to soil: • Whenever soil is exposed water and wind can erode it this is what caused the southern plains Dust Bowl in the 1930s.
The 5 agents of Erosion: • The 5 agents of erosion are Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind.
How erosion can change land over time: • Erosion can change land over time in many ways some are running water can erode rocks, glaciers can get rocks caught in front of it and move the rocks, waves can erode the sides of cliffs and wind can blow rocks and sand around.
The types of mass movement: There are four different types of mass movement they are landslides, creep, slump, and mudflows.
The part that gravity plays in Erosion: • Gravity plays an important part in Erosion without gravity making water move in a stream or creek how would running water exsist.
