d) Water
Explanation:
- Sheet erosion is the "uniform erosion of substrate" along a wide area. Sheet erosion take place in vast range of settings such as hill slopes, coastal plains, beaches. & floodplains. Water moves quite evenly with a similar thickness over a surface and is known sheet flow & is the major factor for sheet erosion. That is, water flows in the form of sheets in large quantities and erodes the soil.
- When the "vegetation cover" of an area is removed due to different factors including human activities, the rain water in such case does not sink into the ground, and washes away the soil "down the slope". Each succeeding rain-stream washes away a thin layer of "absorbent top soil".
- Sheet erosion is very harmful for the farmers because it removes the top soil which is the most fertile layer of the soil. The growth of different types of crops are are largely affected because of sheet erosion.
