Question

what do you understand by the term soil erosion?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The removal of fertile top soil land by wind or water is called soil erosion. Soil erosion occurs easily in those areas of land which are not covered by vegetation (trees and other plants) or have very little vegetation. The cover of vegetation softens (or reduces) the effect of heavy rains on the soil.

Answer 2

Detachment and movement of topsoil or soil material from the upper part of the profile by the action of wind or running water especially as a result of changes brought about by human activity (such as unsuitable or mismanaged agricultural methods).
