Question

What happens when it rains heavily on soil without a vegetational cover?

• A. Rain water percolates in soil efficiently.
• B. Rain water causes loss of surface soil.
• C. Rain water leads to fertility of the soil.

The correct option is B Rain water causes loss of surface soil.

When rain falls on soil without vegetational cover it causes soil erosion as the top layer of the soil is eroded by water.
