(b)Soil is a very important resource for life.It is the basic component for the production of many other resources.Soil erosion causes the top layer of the soil,i.e. the most fertile part of the soil to wash away causing the soil to be drained of all its nutrients making it infertile and unfit for agriculture.Hence we must prevent soil erosion.
