There are three main types of soil erosion.Wind erosion: Wind erosion is
the removal soil particles by the force and kinetic energy of the wind. These soil
particles are transported and deposited when the wind energy drops.Water erosion: Water erosion is
caused by the kinetic energy of rain falling on the soil surface and by the mechanical
force of runoff.Gravity erosion:
Mass movement of soil occurs on steep slopes under the influence of gravity. The process
involves the transfer of slope-forming materials from higher to lower grounds due to self
weight.
