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.....

◼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.......
