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.
