GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil erosion is the detachment and movement of soil particles from the point of origination through the action of water or wind. Thus, minimizing the impact of water or wind forces is the main objective for erosion control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soil erosion is a process of moving soil by water or wind-when the soil particles are detached and transported to a different location. This is a natural process that has occurred for eons of time. Water, wind, ice, and gravity are involved in moving soil materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water erosion occurs when rain or snowmelt displaces the soil on the ground. The more water flowing over the land, the more soil particles are moved or transported away. Land that has no vegetation-including farm fields that are left barren after crop harvest-are especially vulnerable to water erosion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wind erosion can be caused by a light wind that rolls soil particles along the surface through to a strong wind that lifts a large volume of soil particles into the air to create dust storms.
