Heya Mate......

Here is your answer.......

______________________________________

★ Causes of soil erosion:-

==> Due to human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, construction and mining, etc.

==> Natural forces like wind, glacier and water leads to soil erosion.

==> Sometimes, water flows as a sheet over large areas down a slope. It leads to the washing away of the top soil. This process is called sheet erosion.

==> Wind blows loose soil off flat or sloping land, and is called wind erosion.

==> Soil erosion is also caused due to defective methods of farming.

Thanks.....

I hope it helps.....

◼Causes of soil erosion :-

⭐ Soil Texture:Small grain and open structure soil erodes more than the larger grain and closed structure soil.

⭐Ground Slope:

Steeper slope ground erodes more than the ground having mild slope due to increased speed of run off than infiltration.

⭐ Intensity and amount of rainfall:

More the intensity of rainfall more will be the soil erosion.

⭐ Mismanaged utilization of soil resources:The soil erosion is enhanced by improper surface drainage, removal of forest litter, overgrazing etc.

⭐Distribution of rainfall and landscape:

If the ground surface is such that rainfall distributes evenly, there is not plenty rainfall, the erosion will be less.

⭐Deforestation:It is one of the major factors responsible for Soil erosion. Removal of forest cover which function as a binder of the top layer of the soil with increasing land demand have resulted in enhancing extent of soil erosion.......
