Answer:

Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water. In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands.

It occurs when the impact of water or wind separates and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.
