The fire burned in the upper Pueblo Canyon watershed and created a dramatic increase in the water runoff, which accelerated erosion of contaminated waste sites at Los Alamos dating from before 1960, the department said.

A cattle path through the forest formerly crossed the fossil tracks and caused accelerated erosion at that point, but since 2001 the vegetation around the tracks has been cleared away and the exposed rock protected by fencing.

Filling a breakwater with imported sand can stop the breakwater from trapping sand from the littoral stream ( the ocean running along the shore . ) Otherwise the breakwater may deprive downstream beaches of sand and accelerate erosion there.

Later volcanism in the Jurassic intruded and covered these rocks in what may have been magmatic activity associated with the early stages of the creation of the Sierra Nevada Batholith . 95 % of these rocks were eventually removed by uplifted-accelerated erosion.

Joseph F . Melston, director of conservation and environmental education for the New York City Department of Parks stated that the construction must be stopped in any area of the ravine, as this development would impair the natural drainage pattern of the area, accelerate erosion, add pollutants to the bay, and drive away wildlife.

The present shifting cultivation system with short fallow in the Chittagong Hill Tracts has accelerated erosion, land degradation, deforestation, and impoverishment of tribal people in CHT . If the present state of degradation is continued, most of the areas under shifting cultivation will be severely degraded and the future generations will face more difficulties to eke out their livelihoods on further degraded land.
