Question

Causes of soil erosion

Answer 1

hey mate!

soil erosion is the weathering away of topsoil caused by water ,wind or tillage pesticides and other chemicals can get trapped in soil pollution streams and rivers as the soil breaks apart .soil erosion can also lead to mudslides and floods negatively affecting the structural integrity of buildings and Roadways.

hope it helps you

=>

Humans play a major role in soil erosion through their use and abuse of natural resources, for example deforestation, grazing, arable land use, faulty farming systems, high crop intensity, housing construction, mining etc.

=>

The two most important climatic factors having a direct effect on erosion are precipitation and wind velocity. Other climatic factors have an indirect effect on soil erosion, such as water balance, evapotranspiration, temperature and relative humidity.

=>

The susceptibility of a soil to erosion is influenced by its physical, hydrological, chemical and mineralogical properties as well as its soil profile characteristics.

=>

Infiltration, surface detention, overland flow velocity, and subsurface water flow are important soil erosion components of the hydrological cycle.

=>

Slope gradient, slope length and shape of slope are the important variables of landform that affect erosion processes for all types of soil erosion, e.g., splash, sheet, rill, and gully erosion.
