Causes of Soil Erosion, its Effects, and Geotextiles

Good Morning! I wondered if you could tell me the main causes of soil erosion and the effects.

What an excellent question. Erosion comes in a variety of "shapes and sizes" with varying causes. However, the most common causes of soil erosion can be broken down into two categories: Water and Wind. These factors can cause mass wasting, surface creep, or slumping.

Although soil erosion is a natural occurrence on all land, there are certain factors that call accelerate the erosion making it more noticeable and problematic.

Using products like woven geotextiles, non woven geotextiles, or coir can help repair eroded areas and prevent erosion from occurring.
