GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Erosion is the transport of soil from one place to another. Climatic factors such as wind and rain can cause erosion, but also under irrigation it may occur. Over a short period, the process of erosion is almost invisible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Erosion is the physical removal and transportation of weathered material by water, wind, ice, or gravity. Mass wasting is the transfer or movement of rock or soil down slope primarily by gravity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, or by a moving transport agent – wind, water or ice.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rill Erosion The flow’s velocity rises as it gets deeper, separating soil particles and scouring channels up to 30 cm deep. The process between sheet erosion and gully erosion is known as rill erosion.
