What is soil erosion? Soil erosion is a natural process‚ occurring over geological time‚ and indeed it is a process that is essential for soil formation in the first place. With respect to soil degradation‚ most concerns about erosion are related to accelerated erosion‚ where the natural rate has been significantly increased mostly by human activity. Soil erosion by water is a widespread problem throughout Europe. Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind: such ’background’

Soil Erosion Erosion is a natural process by which rock and soil are broken loose from the earth’s surface at one location and moved to another. Soil erosion forms and changes land by wearing down mountains filling valleys‚ and making rivers appear and disappear. Erosion is usually a slow and gradual process that occurs over the course of thousands or millions of years. However the rate of erosion can be speeded up by such human activities as mining. How erosion occurs? Ero0sion begins with

Soil erosion is a major concern in the southeastern region of Nigeria due to high population densities and farming techniques‚ which has resulted in the presence of numerous gullies. While gullies are found all around the world‚ the existence of gullies in Nigeria is regarded as one of the worst environment disasters‚ having negative implications on the environment and the quality of life for humans and other species (Adetona & Ezezika‚ 2011; Ajaegwu & al‚ 2010). Large quantities of soil in Nigeria

because of erosion. Erosion is the process of Earth being weathered down. The word “erosion” originates from the Latin word‚ “erosionem” which means “gnawing away.” Erosion is when forces of nature “gnaw away” at the Earth and cause the ground to move. Erosion can be both beneficial and harmful. Over a long period of time‚ a large boulder may become sand and contribute to a beach where locals can leisure. A mountain can smooth into a hill and allow residents to build houses on it. Erosion can also

Soil Erosion And Conservation SOIL EROSION AND CONSERVATION Erosion Erosion is the removal of soil particles by the motion of wind or water. Soil erosion is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture throughout the world. The fallowing contributes to soil erosion: Misuse of land‚ Mismanagement of arable land‚ Indiscriminate felling of trees‚ Overgrazing‚ Poor soil and water management Erosion causes or Results in a: Decline in soil fertility‚ Water supply‚

especially topsoil‚ as a living entity. SOIL EROSION Soil erosion is when the soil is blown away by the wind or washed away by the rain. Soil erosion is common in areas with steep slopes‚ where trees have been cut down‚ in droughts when crops and other vegetation grow poorly and in rural areas which are overpopulated. Nepal‚ in the Himalayan Mountains‚ has severe problems caused by increased population density and steep slopes. Soil erosion can be reduced by building terraces on hillsides
