Question

List 4 effect of soil erosion

Answer 1

Answer:

Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.or,

1)Sheet erosion by water;

2) Wind erosion;

3) Rill erosion – happens with heavy rains and usually creates smalls rills over hillsides;

4) Gully erosion – when water runoff removes soil along drainage lines

5) Ephemeral erosion that occurs in natural depressions.
