- Wind. When strong winds blow, the topsoil along with the organic matter is carried away by the wind.

- Water. When it rains in the hilly areas, the soil gets washed away towards the plains.

- Overgrazing.

- Deforestation.

- Afforestation.

- Crop Rotation.

- Terrace Farming.

- Building Dams.
