Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rill erosion occurs when runoff water forms small channels as it concentrates down a slope. These rills can be up to 0.3m deep. If they become any deeper than 0.3m they are referred to as gully erosion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water. Water is the most common cause of soil erosion. Wind. Wind can also make soil erode by displacing it. Ice.
