Solution
Soil Erosion is the movement of topsoil from the upper part of the soil profile due to the action of wind or running water as a result of changes brought about by human activities like deforestation.
In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands. This has been worsening due to human activities such as agriculture and deforestation.
Soil erosion is a continuous process that occurs either slowly or at an alarming rate. It results in a continuous loss of topsoil, ecological degradation, soil collapse, etc.
