Soil erosion is a continuous process that occurs either slowly or at an alarming rate. It results in a continuous loss of topsoil, ecological degradation, soil collapse, among other things. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the causes, effects, and preventive measures of soil erosion.
13 Φεβ 2017 · There are so many factors and processes are responsible for soil erosion. The major objective of studying this lesson is to understand the causative factors of soil erosion and their...
Erosion occurs when soil particles are detached, transported, and deposited elsewhere, Water, wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity are involved in transport-ing soil materials, and these are also the active agents in erosion. All are at work in natural ecosys-tems. The erosion of soil is one of several natural and
Soil erosion potential is increased if the soil has no or very little vegetative cover of plants and/or crop residues. Plant and residue cover protects the soil from raindrop impact and splash, tends to slow down the movement of surface runoff and allows excess surface water to infiltrate.
The major forces that cause erosion are water, wind, ice, and vegetation. Water Erosion. Water is the main cause of erosion. Water is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. Some ways that water causes erosion include: rainfall, rivers, waves, and flooding. Rainfall can cause erosion two ways.
7 Φεβ 2020 · Soil erosion is a significant threat to land sustainability and productivity in mountainous areas. Erosion can affect food security and land vulnerability to climate change.
The presence of healthy trees is one of the best ways to prevent erosion. Trees intercept rain, reduce the water in soil, break the wind and the roots bind soil together. This hands-on activity simulates the difference between levels of erosion with or without trees and their impacts on soil.
