Soil erosion - Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water.

Effects of Soil Erosion -

The major effects of soil erosion include:

Loss of Arable Land -

Soil erosion removes the top fertile layer of the soil. This layer is rich in the essential nutrients required by the plants and the soil. The degraded soil does not support crop production and leads to low crop productivity.

Clogging of Waterways -

The agricultural soil contains pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, and several other chemicals. This pollutes the water bodies where the soil flows.The sediments accumulate in the water and raise the water levels resulting in flooding.

HOPE IT HELPS IN ANYWAY.!

Answer:

soil erosion is displacement of the upper layer of soil.

It will caise the top most layer i.e the most fertile layer to wash away, causing nutrition difference in soil and hence making the land/area non fertile
