When topsoil is washed away it is called sheet erosion.
1. Sheet erosion refers to the removal of soil layers in a uniform manner.
2. The layers of the soil are eroded in a very slow manner which gradually leads to the degradation of the soil quality.
3. Soil erosion leads to the removal of soil nutrients and important minerals. It makes the soil unfit for agricultural purposes.
4. Sheet erosion can be caused by heavy rain which washes down the loose soil particles. As a result, the inner layers of the soil get exposed to the agents of the soil erosion which further causes more soil erosion.
