a naturally occurring process

Although a naturally occurring process, soil erosion is often intensified by human land use practices such as land clearing, overgrazing and soil cultivation.

the wearing away of the land surface by water and wind

Soil erosion is the wearing away of the land surface by water and wind.

The removal of soil by running water and wind

The removal of soil by running water and wind is known as soil erosion.

one component of land degradation

But soil erosion (one component of land degradation) jeopardizes the sustainable delivery of these services worldwide, and particularly in the humid tropics where erosion potential is high due to heavy rainfall.

a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms

According to the department of agriculture, soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms.

the loss of topsoil over time

Soil erosion is the loss of topsoil over time and is often caused by wind and/or rain.

a global environmental problem

Soil erosion is a global environmental problem, and anthropogenic fallout radionuclides offer a promising tool for describing and quantifying soil redistribution on decadal time scales.

the movement of the upper soil layers

Soil erosion is the movement of the upper soil layers caused by processes related to water or wind.

a phenomenon of transportation of soil particles by exogenous wind or water action

Soil erosion is a phenomenon of transportation of soil particles by exogenous wind or water action.

when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles

Soil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate.

a naturally occurring process and a global environmental problem

Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process and a global environmental problem.

one of the most severe global environmental problems

Soil erosion is one of the most severe global environmental problems.

one of the most significant land degradation processes on agricultural areas

Soil erosion is one of the most significant land degradation processes on agricultural areas.

a naturally occurring process of the Earth's ecosystem

Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process of the Earth's ecosystem.

a naturally occurring process that shapes and changes the landscape

soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that shapes and changes the landscape.

a natural process that has been accelerated by deforestation and intensive agriculture to rates about 100 times faster than the rates at which nature can form soil

Soil erosion is a natural process that has been accelerated by deforestation and intensive agriculture to rates about 100 times faster than the rates at which nature can form soil.

a natural process which has been exacerbated by human activities such as agriculture and deforestation

Soil erosion is a natural process which has been exacerbated by human activities such as agriculture and deforestation.

a natural process which has been in operation since the formation of the earth

Soil erosion is a natural process which has been in operation since the formation of the earth.

a natural process yet ignited by human beings’ activities

Soil erosion is a natural process yet ignited by human beings’ activities, result in deforestation.

a natural process which occur when there is loss of or removal of top layer of soil to due to rain, wind, deforestation or any other human activity

Soil erosion is a natural process which occur when there is loss of or removal of top layer of soil to due to rain, wind, deforestation or any other human activity.
