Answer:
Sheet erosion occurs as a shallow 'sheet' of water flowing over the ground surface, resulting in the removal of a uniform layer of soil from the soil surface. Sheet erosion occurs when rainfall intensity is greater than infiltration (sometimes due to crusting). ... Soil particles are only transported not detached.

Answer:
Sheet erosion or sheet wash is the even erosion of substrate along a wide area. It occurs in a wide range of settings such as coastal plains, hillslopes, floodplains and beaches. Water moving fairly uniformly with a similar thickness over a surface is called sheet flow, and is the cause of sheet erosion.
