1. Wind
When strong winds blow, the topsoil along with the organic matter is carried away by the wind.
2. Water
When it rains in the hilly areas, the soil gets washed away towards the plains.
3. Overgrazing
When cattle are allowed to graze on the same field repeatedly, all the available grass, including the roots are eaten by them. This makes the topsoil vulnerable to wind and flowing water, leading to soil erosion.
4. Deforestation:-
Humans have taken land from the forest to cultivate in order to feed the ever-increasing population and to build houses, industries, etc. Cutting down of trees on a large scale for these purposes is deforestation.
