Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion involved three processes: detachment (from the ground), transportation (via water or wind), and deposition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion can be seen as a sequence of three events: detachment, entrainment, and transport. These three processes are often closely related and sometimes not easy distinguished between each other. A single particle may undergo detachment, entrainment, and transport many times.
Detailed explanation-3: -Soil erosion is a process of detachment and transportation of soli materials by erosive agents [ELLISON, 1946]. Detachment is the tearing loose of soil aggregates or particles of transportable sizes from their moorings in the soil mass. This may be expressed in terms of pounds or tons per acre.
