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: -Scalding. Scalding can occur when wind and water erosion removes the top soil and exposes saline or sodic soils. Raindrop impact alone can result in large amounts of soil being moved. However water or wind moving over the surface will remove more soil, and contribute to sheet, rill and gully erosion.
