Question

What is soil erosion?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the wearing away of the Earth surface is called erosion

Answer 2

• Soil erosion is a kind of soil deterioration that involves the displacement of the upper layer of soil.
• Water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, animals, and people are all erosive factors that induce this natural process.
• Water erosion, glacier erosion, snow erosion, wind (aeolean) erosion, zoogenic erosion, and human erosion, such as tillage erosion, are all examples of erosion caused by these forces.
• Soil erosion can be a long, unnoticeable process, or it can happen quickly, resulting in significant topsoil loss.
• Reduced agricultural production potential, poor surface water quality, and broken drainage networks might all be consequences of soil loss on farming. Sinkholes may result from soil erosion.
