how does industrialisation increase the rate of soil erosion??

Solution

Industrialization results in cutting of large number of trees and deforestation as more land is needed to develop industries. This deforestation results in loss of the plant cover which holds the soil in their roots. Thus soil can be easily washed away and hence soil erosion happens.
