DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Wind erosion can be caused by a light wind that rolls soil particles along the surface through to a strong wind that lifts a large volume of soil particles into the air to create dust storms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil compaction, low organic matter, loss of soil structure, poor internal drainage, salinisation and soil acidity problems are other serious soil degradation conditions that can accelerate the soil erosion process. This fact sheet looks at the causes and effects of water, wind and tillage erosion on agricultural land.

Detailed explanation-3: -Erosion by the wind After becoming loose, the soil particles are blown and transported away by the wind through: Suspension-Smaller dirt particles are suspended in the air and drift with the wind like a thin crust, allowing them to be carried across vast distances.
