What is soil erosion? What factors responsible for soil erosion?

The process of taking away top soil by wind,water is called soil erosion.

Factors that cause soil erosion are;                                                                                                                                       

1)Deforestation                                                                                                                                                                  

2) Overgazing

3)  Leaving the land uncultivated after ploughing                                                                                                              

the removal of top soil by the actionof the natural forces like water,rains etc.is knownas soil erosion

the factor responsible for soil erosion are:Cutting down of trees(deforestation)

 The removal of soil by running water and wind is called soil erosion. The factors affecting soil erosion are:-

1) Deforestation

2) Overgrazing

3) Floods and heavy rainfall

4) Improper farming

Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind: such 'background' (or 'geological') soil erosion has been occurring for some 450 million years, since the first land plants formed the first soil. Even before this, natural processes moved loose rock, or regolith, off the Earth's surface, just as has happened on the planet Mars.

SOIL EROSION IS WEAVING AWAY OF SOIL BY DIFFRENT AGENTS SUCH AS WIND,WATER AND ICE..

NO VEGETATION IS THE 1ST MAIN FACTOR FOR THIS

Carrying away of top soil due to wind and water is calld soil erosion. The factors are as follows -:

Overgrazing

Forest fire

Deforestation

Poor farming methods
