Geological erosion occurs where soil is in its natural
environment surrounded by its natural vegetation. This has
been taking place naturally for millions of years and has
helped create balance in uncultivated soil that enables plant
growth. A classical example of the results of geological
erosion is the Grand Canyon.
Accelerated erosion can be caused by man's activities, such as
agriculture and construction, which alter the natural state of
the environment.
