The document discusses erosion, including its causes and effects in Madagascar. It notes that erosion in Madagascar has increased due to deforestation from farming and that three-fourths of the island's forests have been impacted by erosion. It also asks about erosion problems in Ecuador. Finally, it provides five techniques for avoiding erosion such as planting ground cover, proper drainage systems, adopting land for conservation, and education.

2. 1)What is erosion? Explain in
detail how it happens?
 Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth
gets worn down. Erosion can be caused by natural
elements such as wind and glacial ice.
 Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked
up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or
gravity.

4. 2)Erosion problems in
Madagascar. Find all the
statistical information related
to it.
 In madagascar there are many erosion.because the
people cut down trees and farm and stay there 2 or
three years an go then the erosion begin.
 Madagascar 30 years ago it was an island with many
trees but now they are no.
 The erosion has extended three fourths of the forests

6. 3)Are there erosion problems in Ecuador?
Where exactly?

8. 4)How can erosion be avoided?
Research about the 5 main technics to
fix the problem. Give examples.
 We can avoid erosion by using land according to its
cability protecting the surface cover and controlling the
runoff.
o I investigate 5 ways to avoide erosion:
 Plant grass and ground cover in huge expansive gardens
and on sport fields.
 2) Never leave gardens bare and exposed.
 3) Make shure that homes and buildings have an
adequate draining and water collection systems.
 4) Adopt a small pice of land outside your property as
your own.
 5) Create awareness among children and young adults.
