Examples of autoimmune diseases include: 1  Rheumatoid arthritis. The immune system produces antibodies that attach to the linings of joints. 2  Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). People with lupus develop autoimmune antibodies that can attach to tissues throughout the body. 3  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Preventing and managing erosion. Programs to control erosion in Queensland began in the 1950s and have been very successful. The 3 main principles to control erosion are to: use land according to its capability. protect the soil surface with some form of cover. control runoff before it develops into an erosive force.
Excessive erosion leads to loss of soil, ecosystem damage, and a buildup of sediments in water sources. Building terraces and planting trees can help reduce erosion. Erosion through wind, water, and mass wasting is a very destructive force. Subduction zones are destructive, as those convergent boundaries are where crust is directly taken into the mantle and destroyed. Erosion strips away the topsoil of an area, leaving only clay, rock, and debris in it's path.
