Changes to air and water affect living things and the

Erosion

and plants, the plants no longer hold the soil in place which causes erosion.

Pollution
– when humans pollute the water, air or soil
this affects the level of nutreients in the soil. Some materials take a long time to decompose
in the soil such as plastic and they don’t add nutrients to the soil. Some
pollution can add harmful chemicals to the soil. Other materials that are biodegradable
can add nutrients to soil when they decompose.
