GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from erosion of the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour.

Detailed explanation-2: -Streambank erosion The erosion of soil from the banks (shores) of the streams or rivers due to the flowing water is called bank erosion. In certain areas where the river changes its course, the river banks get eroded at a rapid rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind erosion is a common cause of land degradation in the arid and semi arid grazing lands of inland Queensland. It is one of the processes leading to desertification. Significant wind erosion occurs when strong winds blow over light-textured soils that have been heavily grazed during periods of drought.
