What is the main feature of soil erosion in running water in India describe in detail explain atleast in 10 point
Answers
Answer:
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 (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, animals, and humans. In accordance with these agents, erosion is sometimes divided into water erosion, glacial erosion, snow erosion, wind (aeolean) erosion, zoogenic erosion and anthropogenic erosion.[1] Soil erosion may be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed, or it may occur at an alarming rate causing a serious loss of topsoil. The loss of soil from farmland may be reflected in reduced crop production potential, lower surface water quality and damaged drainage networks.Soil erosion could also cause sinkholes.
Explanation:
Answer:
India predominantly witnesses water erosion. The rate of soil erosion by moving water is directly proportional to the intensity and duration of the downpour. In coastal areas the intensity of the erosion is decided by the velocity of the waves, volume of water, extension of vegetation cover, nature of rocks, etc
