Question

what is soil erosion? explain it's types and solution with example?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ollowing are the major types of erosion caused by water. (i) Sheet Erosion : When the top layer of the soil is removed over a large area by the running water, it is called as sheet erosion. (ii) Rill Erosion : This is the second stage of sheet erosion. ... Gully erosion is also responsible for the formation of ravines.

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

Four main types of soil erosion:

• Splash erosion
• Sheet erosion
• Rill erosion
• Gully erosion.

Splash erosion

• Splash erosion or rain drop impact represents the first stage in the erosion process.
• Splash erosion results from the bombardment of the soil surface by rain drops.
• Rain drops behave as little bombs when falling on exposed or bare soil, displacing soil particles and destroying soil structure.

Sheet erosion

• 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.

Rill erosion

• Rill erosion is removal of soil by concentrated water flow, and it occurs when the water forms small channels in the soil as it flows off site.

Gully erosion

• A gully is a landform created by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside.
• Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys, but are metres to tens of metres in depth and width.
