Question

Erosion can be caused by which of the following?

• A. Rain falling on steeply sloping land
• B. A very hard rainfall
• C. Rain falling on bare soil
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it away to another location. Soil compaction, heavy rainfall, low organic matter, loss of soil structure, poor internal drainage, salinization and soil acidity problems are other serious soil degradation conditions that can accelerate the soil erosion process.
