Soil Erosion:-

The removal of fertile top soil land by wind or water is called soil erosion. Soil erosion occurs easily in those areas of land which are not covered by vegetation (trees and other plants) or have very little vegetation.

Causes of soil erosion:-

Soil compaction

low organic matter

loss of soil structure

poor internal drainage

salinisation

soil acidity

Types of soil erosion:-

Sheet and rill erosion

rill erosion.

Scalding.

Gully erosion.

Tunnel erosion.

Stream bank erosion.

Erosion on floodplains.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.Soil erosion is a gradual process of movement and transport of the upper layer of soil (topsoil) by different agents – particularly water, wind, and mass movement – causing its deterioration in the long term.

In other words, soil erosion is the removal of the most fertile top layer of soil through water, wind and tillage.

2. different causes of soil erosion

Sheet erosion by water;

2) Wind erosion;

3) Rill erosion – happens with heavy rains and usually creates smalls rills over hillsides;

4) Gully erosion – when water runoff removes soil along drainage lines

5) Ephemeral erosion that occurs in natural depressions.
