Soil erosion is a recent problem in Tanzania even though the Masai have used their land for herding for so many years. This dramatic increase in soil erosion now even shows signs of an almost total destruction in the Tanzanian Maasai landscape.

The main trigger for soil erosion is the loss of vegetation cover which makes it easier for natural factors & man-made factors to cause even more damage.

How does a meander form in a river?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

A meander forms in a river by eroding laterally, to the right side then the left side and the left side again, this forms large bends, which then horseshoe like loops called meanders. The force of the water then erodes and undercuts the river bank on the outside of the bend which is where the water flows and it has the most energy due to the decreasing friction.
