How do water and wind contribute to soil erosion?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Contribution of water to soil erosion
* Running water is the main cause of soil erosion as running water has a huge power and it detaches/displaces the soil resulting soil erosion.
*Soil erosion also occurs due to rain water, as it also leads to the displacement or detachment of soil.(Detachment-Transport-Soil erosion)
*Detachment or loosening of the soil particles of soil is caused by different factors as rain water or flowing water, then it's transported by floating, dragging or rolling and deposited at some lower elevation(Resulting soil erosion).
