the soil erosion pictured here is the result of what?
a) harvesting renewable resources at a rate greater than the sustainable yield
b) a mudslide caused by excessive rains
c) harvesting renewable resources at a rate lower than the sustainable yield
d) the transition between geologic eras and eons

Explanation:

Soil erosion can occur when renewable resources like trees are harvested at a rate greater than the sustainable yield. This leads to a lack of vegetation cover which helps hold soil in place. Excessive rain - induced mudslides are a different phenomenon and not indicated here. Harvesting at a lower rate than sustainable yield is beneficial and the transition between geologic eras and eons has no direct relation to this local soil erosion.

Answer:

A. Harvesting renewable resources at a rate greater than the sustainable yield
