Answer 1

Explanation hey mate

:

The cause of soil erosion are

1. Rainfall Intensity and Runoff
2. Soil Erodability: Based on the characteristics of each unique soil, it is more or less susceptible
3. Erodability of Soil:
4. Climate: Soil moisture levels at the surface can become extremely low in times of drought, increasing particles to be carried by the wind.
5. Vegetative Cover: Lack of permanent vegetation creates loose, dry, and barren soil that is perfect for wind transport.
6. Slope Gradient and Length: The steeper the slope, the greater amount of soil can be lost. As the soil erodes downward, it increases the slope degree, which in turn, creates further erosion.
