How can animals can cause erosion?

By eating the plants there if they are a herbivor and walking around so they may be always walking in the same place so slowly they start t wear away the land with their feet When animals that burrow under ground are over populated, they can fill a section of land with so many tunnels and holes that the ground begins to collapse and is more easily washed away. Animals that eat a large amount of plants can also cause erosion because the plants' roots use to hold the soil down. Similarly, deforestation caused by humans can increase erosion. We also cause erosion by clearing land for buildings and by mining. animals the weaken riverbanks by burrowing ie muskrats or for access ie cattle will also do considerable damage
