Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion is the movement of rock particles by wind, water, ice, or gravity, and weathering is the process that breaks down rock and other materials at the Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -Soil erosion can occur in two stages: 1) detachment of soil particles by raindrop impact, splash, or flowing water; and 2) transport of detached particles by splash or flowing water. Therefore, soil erosion is a physical process requiring energy, and its control requires certain measures to dissipate this energy.
