Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is the natural process of wearing away topsoil, but human activities have accelerated the process. It is usually caused due to the removal of vegetation, or any activity that renders the ground dry. Farming, grazing, mining, construction and recreational activities are some of the causes of soil erosion.
