Consider the Grand Canyon. Measuring 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and more than 1 mile deep, it is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and attracts more than 5 million visitors per year. This geological marvel was created by the waters of the Colorado River through the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process by which moving water breaks down soil, rock and minerals, and erosion is the process by which the flowing water transports soil and rock from one spot and deposits it elsewhere. The two processes often occur in conjunction. Although erosion occurs naturally at a very slow rate, human activities have sped up the process by an estimated 10 to 40 times globally. The biggest culprit is unsustainable agricultural practices and the industrialization of agriculture. The mechanized equipment used in modern agriculture allows for deep plowing of the soil. This breaks the soil into finer particles, which is desirable for agriculture because it facilitates planting and also increases the plants’ access to oxygen. However, deep plowing also increases the amount of soil that is vulnerable to being washed away by erosion. Throughout much of history, plowing had to be done manually, and it was a labor‐intensive process. With the mechanization of agriculture, farmers are able to plow much deeper and more often than ever before, resulting in disastrous consequences for soil quality. Deforestation has also played a role in the rapid increase in erosion globally. Trees and plant roots naturally bind the soil and anchor it to prevent too much from being washed away. They also provide cover and reduce the speed at which rain hits the ground, absorbing much of the impact. This allows the water to trickle to the ground and absorb slowly, rather than flow over the surface and wash away the soil. Deforestation of lands for agriculture and development has rendered large regions of the world unproductive. The effect is amplified in areas that are used for urban development, where the ground is covered with a layer of asphalt or concrete. These surfaces make it difficult for water to penetrate the ground, and increase the volume of runoff to surrounding areas. In addition, the runoff from urban areas is often polluted with fuel, oil and other chemicals. Lastly, climate change has led to more extreme climate events, including extreme rainfall and hurricanes. Scientists predict that increased rainfall intensity and quantity will lead to greater rates of erosion. Rising sea levels have also increased the rate of coastal erosion, which has been increasingly problematic for low‐lying developed areas along the coast, such as in Florida and Hawaii. Scientists have found that the most effective way to reduce soil loss from erosion is to increase the amount of vegetative cover (from grass, plants and trees, for example) on the ground. In recent years, there has also been a gradual shift toward more ecologically conscious agricultural practices. Societies around the world have begun to feel the devastating effects of decades of unsustainable agricultural practices and deforestation, and many have started taking preventative measures. As the consequences of modern industrial agriculture have become apparent, farmers have been encouraged to take steps to reduce erosion. It is now considered good practice to minimize plowing of the land to preserve the integrity of the soil. Crop rotation is a good alternative: planting different kinds of crops can improve soil structure and keep the soil enriched with necessary nutrients and minerals, and with better soil, frequent plowing becomes less necessary. 1.

A culture’s folklore includes the stories that its people tell that teach about their traditions. The stories include the beliefs of the people, and they are usually passed down by word of mouth. That is, the older people tell the younger people. When the young people grow up, they tell their children the same stories. Every culture has its own folklore. Native-American stories have lived through the tradition of folklore. The stories were created to help explain what happened in the world around the Native Americans. Some stories explained what happened in nature and the geography of their surroundings. Others explained how Earth was created. For instance, one Cherokee myth tells the story of how Earth was once a floating island. It hung on cords, and the sun was on a track that moved from east to west. This story was an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Some stories were tales of heroes. Others were tales of “tricksters.” Tricksters are characters who taught the listener how not to behave. Many of the stories included lessons. These lessons warned the people about how to behave. The lessons are called morals. Native American tribes passed down their folklore from father to son and mother to daughter. This way, everyone would remember the lessons from year to year, decade to decade, and century to century. 1. Find the word geography in the passage.
