Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is one of the processes leading to desertification. Significant wind erosion occurs when strong winds blow over light-textured soils that have been heavily grazed during periods of drought. Wind erosion is also a natural process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soil erosion occurs primarily when dirt is left exposed to strong winds, hard rains, and flowing water. In some cases, human activities, especially farming and land clearing, leave soil vulnerable to erosion.
