Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, it is one form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, animals, and humans.

Types of Soil Erosion

There are three main types of soil erosion.

Wind erosion: Wind erosion is the removal soil particles by the force and kinetic energy of the wind. These soil particles are transported and deposited when the wind energy drops.

Water erosion: Water erosion is caused by the kinetic energy of rain falling on the soil surface and by the mechanical force of runoff.

Gravity erosion: Mass movement of soil occurs on steep slopes under the influence of gravity. The process involves the transfer of slope-forming materials from higher to lower grounds due to self weight.

Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water
