Soil erosion alongside a creek is caused by natural processes like floods, as well as human and animal activity such as land clearing and cattle grazing. This erosion can lead to large trees and soil falling into the creek and changing its banks, as shown in pictures of a flooded creek where the water is much higher than usual and washing away the flat bank.

1. Erosion alongside a creek is a common issue. There are a number of reasons that this environmental
issue can occur-
-natural processess
-floods
-human activity ,such as land clearing
-animal activity, including cattle grazing
One of the main concerns of soil erosion is that the land along the edge of the creek can fall away into
the creek which could bring down large trees. Creeks bring needed water to a landscape. In times of
flood the soil can be washed away, changing the creek banks. As these pictures show.
This picture shows the creek in a time of flood, water is much higher than usual, note the flat bank.
