The rate of erosion depends on many factors. Erosion is caused by "fluid flow". Any substance, like water, wind, or ice, which flows consistently from one place to another, will facilitate erosion. The geologic factors include the sediment or rock type, its porosity and permeability, the slope (gradient) of the land, and whether the rocks are tilted, faulted, folded, or weathered. The biological factors include ground cover from vegetation or lack thereof, the type of organisms inhabiting the area, and the land use.

How does water causes Soil Erosion?
Flowing water has great speed.due to this speed, soil also starts running with water causing soil erosion.
Where is soil erosion?
Soil erosion is not the same as soil transfer. Soil erosion is when an element (ie: wind, water) erodes the soil, taking it away. Soil transfer is when an element (ie: wind, water) carries...soil ia a removal of top soil
What role do plant roots have in the process of erosion?
Plants help absorb some of the water in soil. These affects make it harder to wash away the soil.
How is wind erosion and water erosion are different?
by wind erosion the soil is carried by the wind. as in a storm, the soil is carried by the wind. by water erosion the soil is carried by the water. as in high tides the soil is taken by the water that come to the shore. as in order to prevent this, we should plant more trees and plants because the roots of these plants hold the soil together.
What you understand by soil erosion?
Soil erosion is the removal and washing away of the top soil, by the weather; wind, frost and water.
Role of RS in the soil erosion hazard assessment?
ya it may be possible that by the using role scoper results in soil erosion
What is the role of agroforestry?
The main role of agroforestry is to stop the soil erosion.

What does water takes with it while soil erosion?
soil
Soil erosion can be increased by?
Soil erosion can be increased by wind, water, or over tilling the land.
How is wind erosion and water erosion are different?
by wind erosion the soil is carried by the wind. as in a storm, the soil is carried by the wind. by water erosion the soil is carried by the water. as in high tides the soil is taken by the water that come to the shore. as in order to prevent this, we should plant more trees and plants because the roots of these plants hold the soil together.
How are wind erosion and water erosion different?
by wind erosion the soil is carried by the wind. as in a storm, the soil is carried by the wind. by water erosion the soil is carried by the water. as in high tides the soil is taken by the water that come to the shore. as in order to prevent this, we should plant more trees and plants because the roots of these plants hold the soil together.
What you understand by soil erosion?
Soil erosion is the removal and washing away of the top soil, by the weather; wind, frost and water.
What are the agents of soil erosion?
To convert with gravity, the major agents of soil erosion are wind, water and ice.
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
