Deforestation and associated erosion in the early 20th century resulted in a degraded habitat for wildlife.

If not done correctly, the Corps had stressed, devastating erosion would result.

If only a few neighborhoods in Cape Town were exempted, overcrowding and erosion of municipal services would result.

Subsequent erosion over millions of years has resulted in the present-day low range of mountains and rolling hills.

Intense erosion has resulted in the formation of steep valleys and ridges.

This glacial erosion resulted in the very steep northern and eastern faces which the hill possesses.

In the next stage, about 250 million years ago, erosion resulted in the formation of saline lakes and swamps.

At the same time erosion resulted in stripping of the outer mantle rocks and further modeling of terrain.

We noted that erosion resulted from accelerated tree cutting and overgrazing.

Further erosion of the harder rock has resulted in a rounded basin that extends just to the side of the actual river's course.
