GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Sheet erosion is the uniform removal of soil in thin layers, and it occurs when soil particles are carried evenly over the soil surface by rainwater that does not infiltrate into the ground.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rainfall and surface runoff Rainfall, and the surface runoff which may result from rainfall, produces four main types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heavy rainstorms can cause dramatic and excessive erosion events, however, most soil erosion happens gradually over time and often is very hard to notice without constant monitoring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wind erosion is caused by a light wind that rolls through a heavy wind that raises a large amount of soil particles into the air to generate dust storms along the earth. > Option C is correct. Sheet erosion means that very thin layers or sheets of soil are lost.
