Answer» the removal of top layer of soil is called soil erosion.causes:1. excessive flow of water.....2. overgrazing.....3. DEFORESTATION.....4. Erosion, or the degradation and transport of rock or soil, can occur from wind, water, or gravity. Wind can transport fine particles or minerals. Water erodes and carries minerals and rocks in both freshwater and the ocean. Frozen water also moves particles. Glaciers pick up rocks and SEDIMENTS as they move and transport them to somewhere else. Gravity also causes erosion, with particles and rocks succumbing and sliding down SLOPES or FALLING off other rocks or LANDFORMS due to this persistent force. |
