Soil erosion: Events, Physical processes & Factors affecting soil erosion

Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water (e.g. landslide, flooding), ice (e.g. glaciers), snow (e.g. avalanches, snow gliding), air (e.g. wind), plants (e.g. tree uprooting), and animals (including…
