Question

heavy soil erosion accurs in​

Answer 1

• The principal climatic element influencing water erosion by soil is the amount and intensity of precipitation.
• When high rainfall occurs at periods when the soil's surface is not well sheltered by vegetation, or in regions where it is not well protected by vegetation, the association is very strong.
• This might happen during periods when agricultural operations have stripped the soil of its nutrients, or in semi-arid places where vegetation is scant by nature.
• Strong winds are needed to prevent wind erosion, especially during droughts when vegetation is limited and the soil is dry (and so is more erodible).
• Other climatic parameters, such as average temperature and temperature range, might influence erosion through influencing plant and soil qualities.
• In general, locations with more precipitation (particularly high-intensity rainfall), more wind, or more sunlight, given similar plants and ecosystems, are more productive.
