Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Most soil erosion is caused by
A
moving water
B
wind.
C
earthquakes.
D
excess heat.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water erosion occurs when rain or snowmelt displaces the soil on the ground. The more water flowing over the land, the more soil particles are moved or transported away. Land that has no vegetation-including farm fields that are left barren after crop harvest-are especially vulnerable to water erosion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Erosion by Water 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-4: -Ultimately, rainwater is most frequently to blame when it comes to this issue. The flowing water moves the soil organic and inorganic particles alongside the land surface, depositing them in the lower landscape. The result of this would be flooding in the long run.
