Erosion

Erosion is the process by which soils, sediments, and rock are carried away from one area and deposited in another. One example could be heavy precipitation, strong winds, or constant running water like a river. Because climate change impacts the weather and water cycle so dramatically, erosion can be intensified. More powerful storms, sea level rise, increased precipitation, drought, and changes to habitats and plant life all contribute to increased erosion. Erosion leads to the loss of critical topsoil for agriculture, degrades habitat, creates major problems for infrastructure like roads and bridges, and causes water pollution.

Now that you know a bit more about this climate change-related problem....
