A steep slope location would the ‘rate of soil erosion’ most likely be higher than the ‘rate of soil formation’.
Explanation:
- Soil is formed by the erosion of rocks. These rocks can be of many types. Erosion of rocks takes thousands of years to take place.
- In case of a steep slope. The Rocks which are broken down into small pieces tend to slide down due to the gravity. Also the rocks are blown away by other factors like water wind.
- Hence the formation of new soil on a steep slope is very difficult. In this region the rate of formation of soil is lesser than the ‘rate of degradation’ of soil.
