\huge\bold\red{Soil}

\huge\bold\red{Eʀosion}

  • The Soil erosion is the removal of the top cover by water,wind and human activities.

Soil Erosion by water

  1. Sheet Erosion
  2. Rill Erosion
  3. Gully Erosion
  4. Leaching
  5. Sea or Shore Erosion
  6. Stream Bank Erosion

Soil Erosion Due to Human Action:-

  • The lose of vegetation covers leads to Sheet Erosion on hilly slopes because water instead of sinking into the ground washes the soil down
  • The Outer Himalayas ,The Western and Eastern Ghats are subjected to deforestation by man.
  • Sheet,Rill and Gully Erosion is uncontrolled grazing of domestic animals in the valleys and the uper slops.

Erosion by Winds:

  • It occurs when soil devoid of vegetation is exposed to high-velocity of wind.
  • wind erosion reduces the production capacity of soil.

Some of most important causes of Erosion are:-

  • Heavy Population Pressure on Land
  • Nature of heavy rainfall in India
  • Overgrazing
  • Bad Farming Techniques
  • Tropography
  • De-forestation

hope its helpfull..
