Question

What is meant by Soil erosion?

Answer 1

Hyy dear
Soil erosion is defined as the wearing away of topsoil. Topsoil is the top layer of soil and is the most fertile because it contains the most organic, nutrient-rich materials. One of the main causes of soil erosion is water erosion, which is the loss of topsoil due to water.

Answer 2

Soil Erosion:

It is a naturally occurring process which affects the landforms. soil erosion is slowly drifting away of soil from one landmass to another, through the means of water and air.

Explanation:

• Factors that affect erosion are type of soil, rain, vegetation, surface area, slope length and gradient.
• Erosion occurs at a higher rate, when soil is of a certain type. The amount of rain and the plants around, that bind the soil also decide the rate of erosion.
• Slope length and gradient impact erosion by the amount of soil eroded as an increase in gradient and length of slope results in soil erosion.
