Hey mate here is your answer

Explanation:

  • Deforestation=cutting of trees in large number is the main cause of soil erosion.
  • Floods=floodwater washes away the topsoil and thus causes soil erosion.
  • Forest fires=it burns the plant cover and expose the soil to the agents like wind and water which causes soil erosion.
  • Overgreezing=grazing of the animals on the same piece of land year after year is also a reason for soil erosion..
