It is a process in which the top fertile layer of soil is lost. Due to soil erosion, the soil becomes less fertile. The top layer of soil is very light which is easily carried away by wind and water. The removal of topsoil by the natural forces is known as soil erosion.
The various methods for preventing and reducing soil erosion are:
(i) Preventing excessive grazing.
(ii) Planting more and more trees as the roots of the trees hold the soil in place (afforestation).
(iii) Contour ploughing and terrace farming in hilly areas.
(iv) Keeping the vegetation cover on the ground to reduce the effect of wind and water.
