Question

soil erosion occurs easily when the soil is not covered by vegetation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The soil not covered by vegetation (trees and other plants) is easily eroded because there are no roots of trees and plants in it which can bind the soil particles together and prevent them from being carried away by strong winds or flowing rainwater. ... Due to this, soil erosion does not occur

Answer 2

Answer:

Soil erosion occurs easily when the top part is not covered by vegetation because the roots don't hold on to the soil anymore.

Explanation:

Soil erosion occurs easily when the top part is not covered by vegetation as the roots of the plants hold on to the soil firmly preventing it to get carried away by wind, rain or other forces of nature. In the absence of vegetation, the soil gets loose and gets easily carried away by rain, wind and other forces of nature, thus being the cause of soil erosion.
