The most likely factor to change the Earth's balance, resulting in soil erosion, is deforestation. Deforestation removes trees and vegetation that stabilize the soil and help retain moisture, which can lead to increased soil erosion from wind and water. While landfills, water pollution, and air pollution can have negative environmental impacts, deforestation is directly linked to the loss of protective vegetation and increased erosion.
