GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion happens at the tops of mountains and under the soil. Water and chemicals get into the rocks and break them up through those mechanical and chemical forces. Erosion in one area can actually build up lower areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind erosion processes The three processes of wind erosion are surface creep, saltation and suspension. Characteristics of each are outlined below. Surface creep-in a wind erosion event, large particles ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm in diameter, are rolled across the soil surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion is a geological process in which earthen materials (i.e., soil, rocks, sediments) are worn away and transported over time by natural forces such as water or wind; sometimes this is sped up by poor management or other human impacts on land.
