Soil erosionTransport of soil mineral particles and organic matter by wind, flowing water, or both. Human activities that disturb the soil surface or remove vegetation can enhance this natural process.

2 |
Soil erosionWhenever water, as intensive rainfall or irrigation, falls on bare soil surfaces in gardens or lawns, sand, silt, clay, and organic matter may be moved away from the site. The potential for erosion increases with slope, but unless there is runoff, raindrops cannot do much damage. It is the transportation of soil particles and organic matter in runo [..]

Soil erosionThe wearing away of fertile and humus-rich topsoil by the natural physical forces of water and wind. Human communities can worsen soil erosion through their farming activities. After harvesting, harro [..]

Soil erosionLoss of soil that is worn or carried away by wind or rain.

Soil erosionTransport of soil mineral particles and organic matter by wind, flowing water, or both. Human activities that disturb the soil surface or remove vegetation can enhance this natural process.
|
6 |
Soil erosionthe processes by which soil is removed from one place by forces such as wind, water, waves, glaciers, and construction activity and eventually deposited at some new place.
|
7 |
Soil erosion The wearing away of the land surface by physical forces such as rainfall, flowing water, wind, ice, temperature change, gravity, or other natural or anthropogenic agents that abrade, detach and remove soil or geological material from one point on the earth's surface to be deposited elsewhere. Soil erosion is normally a natural process occurri [..]

Soil erosionThe wearing away and break up of earth by natural and human factors.

Soil erosionProcess by which soil particles are detached and transported by wind, water, and gravity to a downslope or downstream location.

Soil erosionThe detachment and movement of soil from the land surface by wind and water in conditions influenced by human activities. In (Bergsma, E., Charman, P., Gibbons, F., Humi, H., Moldenhauer, W.C., and S. [..]
