Question

1. why is erosion bad for plants?

it causes extreme temperatures that hurt the plant.
it dries out the plant so it can’t survive.
it eats away at the soil so there is no nutrition left in it.
it turns the plant yellow.

Explanation:

Erosion involves the removal of topsoil, which contains nutrients essential for plants. The option "It eats away at the soil so there is no nutrition left in it" correctly explains why erosion is bad for plants, as nutrient - rich soil loss hinders plant growth. The other options: "It causes extreme temperatures that hurt the plant" is incorrect as erosion doesn't directly cause extreme temperatures; "It dries out the plant so it can’t survive" is wrong as erosion's main impact is on soil, not directly drying plants; "It turns the plant yellow" is not a direct consequence of erosion.

Answer:

It eats away at the soil so there is no nutrition left in it.
