Explain the different types of soil erosion

Explanation:

$\huge\bold\red{Answer}$

(i) Sheet Erosion : When the top layer of the soil is removed over a large area by the running water, it is called as sheet erosion. (ii) Rill Erosion : This is the second stage of sheet erosion. ... (b) Wind erosion : Wind is a powerful agent of erosion in arid and semi-arid lands with little rainfall.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Rainfall, and the surface runoff which may result from rainfall, produces four main types of soil erosion:

Splash erosion-

The first stage of the erosion process is splash erosion. This occurs when raindrops fall on top of the soil. The soil is usually aggregated together but begins to break up into individual particles.

Sheet erosion-

Sheet erosion is the second stage of the erosion where a thin layer of the soil is removed. This can occur when heavy rain occurs, or the shallow surface begins to runoff from water flow. This results in the loss of the organic matter and nutrients since the top layer of the finest soil particles are lost.

Rill erosion-

Rill Erosion is the third stage of soil erosion.  The surface water begins to collect on the soil in the form of depressions and begins to erode the soil. Rill erosion is common where there is loose soil, overgrazing, and bare soil on agricultural land. People can reduce the chances of rill erosion through grassed waterways, contour drains, and mulching. If they don’t, it can lead to the most extreme stage of erosion –gully.

Gully erosion.-

It can occur when runoff begins to flow strong and concentrates in one location. The water flow can be strong enough to detach and move complete soil particles along with it.
