Answer 1

Water erosion is the wearing away of land by water. Topsoil washes down hill to the gully, to the stream, the river and ocean etc. Land winds up poor for crops because the topsoil is gone. Rivers are damaged by too much soil in the water, decreasing life and food etc for fish. Water erosion happens when there is nothing holding down the topsoil, clearcutting trees, clearing land for farming etc., leaves soil with nothing holding it in place. Another cause of water erosion is large parts of the land being covered with driveways, streets, parking lots etc. This surface does not absorb water, it runs off. Water not absorbed by the earth runs off, carrying topsoil with it.

Answer 2

a million. lack of plantations/wooded area/grasslands in and around the soil mattress; The plant/tree/grass roots carry the soil intact from erosion. 2. Land elements with a lot intense and occasional certain lands. Say, peaks and valley, crests and troughs modern-day in rain-fed elements. 3. lack of water stoppers or lakes and ponds contained in the rain-fed elements. 4. in many cases flooded rivers, streams, and lands loose right soils. 5. inadequate soil binding aspects can be a serious component too.
