What are the various types of Soil Erosion ?
Answers
Answer:
Soil erosion is a complex process that depends on soil properties, ground slope, vegetation, and rainfall amount and intensity. According to Montgomery, modifications in land use are one of the most impactful ways of accelerating soil erosion. These changes then have a cascade effect as the loss of fertile topsoil cover sends millions of tons of sediments into lakes and reservoirs, changing ecosystems and impacting agricultural production and water quality. This has been the case with the Bo River in Vietnam.
According to Al-Kaisi from Iowa State University, there are 5 main types of natural soil erosion:
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.
