$\tt\pink{ \underline{Causes\:of\:Soil\:Erosion:}}$

$\tt\underline\orange{Steep\:slopes:}$ Steep slopes affect the rapidity of running water. On steep slopes, intensity of soil erosion increases.

$\tt\underline\orange{Torrential\:rainfall:}$ Heavy rainfall loosens the soil particles.

$\tt\underline\orange{Strong\:winds:}$ Winds and dust storm blow away soil in dry areas. This process is known as deflation.

$\tt\underline\orange{Over-gazing:}$ Due to over-gazing, the vegetation becomes too thin to protect the soil. Rain and wimd can easily erode the loose soil.

$\tt\underline\orange{Over-cropping:}$ Crop rotation maintains soil fertility. But over-cropping and shifting cultivation renders soil fertility.

$\tt\underline\orange{Deforestation:}$ Deforestation means the removal of forest cover and it exposes the area of soil erosion.
