Explanation
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
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.According to a Pereira and Muñoz-Rojas (2017)synthesis, soil erosion is one of the major causes, evidence of, and key variables used to assess and understand land degradation. Soil erosion is a consequence of unsustainable land use and other disturbances, such as fire, mining, or intensive agricultural uses. The loss of soil may have serious impacts on the quantity and quality of soil ecosystem services, with serious economic, social, and political implications.
Factors affecting soil erosion
Factors such as rainfall, runoff, wind, soilslope, plant cover and presence or absence of conservation measures are responsible forsoil erosion.The key climatic characteristics influencing erosion processes in a given territory include atmospheric precipitation, wind, air temperature, air humidity and solar radiation. The factors having a direct effect on soil erosion are atmospheric precipitation (watererosion) and wind (wind erosion
