Question

What is sheet erosion?

Answer 1

Sheet erosion:

1. The homogeneous removal of soil in thin layers induced by rainwater that does not permeate the ground is known as soil erosion.
2. It occurs when rainwater that does not invade the earth moves soil particles evenly across the soil surface.
3. It occurs in many habitats, such as coastal plains, hillslopes, river valleys, and beaches.
4. Sheet erosion is the uniform loss of soil in thin layers that occurs when rainwater does not permeate into the ground and carries soil particles evenly across the soil surface.
