Solution

Soil erosion:

  1. The hill and mountainous areas are more prone to soil erosion.
  2. It is because they lack vegetation.
  3. The top layer of the earth's surface is called soil.
  4. Dirt and stones make up the structure.
  5. The top fertile layer of soil is lost in this process.
  6. The soil becomes less fertile as a result of soil erosion.
  7. The top layer of soil is relatively light. So, wind and water can readily carry it away.
  8. Soil erosion is caused by a variety of factors such as wind, water, deforestation, cattle overgrazing, and so on.
