Soil and vegetation constitutes a system that is appreciated in consideration with the quantity of biomass accumulated. The natural conditions that favour the geo-dynamical phenomena are represented by a series of geological, geo-morphological, hydrographical, climatically factors that act together over the systems components. The land slip processes stabilised or semi stabilised, affect a considering part of the agrarian surface, especially grass lands which constitutes a severe soil degradation processes. Surface erosion affects all hydrographical basins in our county due to the natural factors but especially because of the negative long-term influence of the anthropic component. Simultaneously deep erosion affected surfaces are the one where the released factors is combined with the important potential factors, high slopes and the lack of protection from shrubby vegetation. In the hilly area the land slips have immediate and negative consequences over the agrarian terrains, communication paths, locality infrastructure. Soil pollution from anthropic activities in Timiş County is caused mainly by the improper depositing of industrial, domestically and animal wastes.
