EROSION, IMPACT, AND RESPONSIBILITY
Erosion is the lifting of soil layers or sediments due to stress caused by wind or water movement at the surface of the soil or bottom of the water. The erosion that occurs is influenced by natural factors naturally as well as by the actions of humans who are trying to cultivate the land and the environment for its sake.
Erosion Cause Factor
Every problem certainly has a cause, as well as erosion. Some of the factors that cause erosion include:
- Climate
Climate can affect erosion by determining rainfall erosive index. In addition, the climatic component of rainfall can affect the rate of erodibility continuously according to rain intensity that occurred.
- Land
The soil with its properties can determine the size of the erosion rate and is expressed as a factor of soil erodibility (soil sensitivity to erosion or soil resistance to erosion).
- Topography
The ability of soil to be … Read more
