Wind erosion is the process by which wind carries away soil particles, leading to the degradation of the land.

Sheet erosion is primarily caused by heavy rainfall, which washes away the topsoil, resulting in the loss of fertile soil.

Gully erosion is characterized by the formation of deep channels and ravines due to the erosive action of concentrated water flow.

Rill erosion is the process by which water flows in small channels, causing the erosion of soil and the formation of rills.

Wind erosion is accelerated when vegetation cover is removed, as the soil becomes more exposed to the erosive force of wind.

Glacial erosion is the process by which glaciers erode and transport soil and rock material.

Coastal erosion is the process by which waves and currents erode and transport soil and rock material along the coastline.

Streambank erosion is the process by which water in large channels erodes and transports soil and rock material along the banks of the channel.

Agricultural erosion is the process by which soil is eroded due to poor farming practices, such as improper tillage and irrigation methods.

Subterranean erosion is the process by which water in underground channels erodes and transports soil and rock material.

Animal-induced erosion is the process by which animals, such as cattle and goats, trample and disturb the soil, leading to erosion.

Cryoturbation is the process by which ice erodes and transports soil and rock material.

Mass movement erosion is the process by which large masses of soil and rock material are eroded and transported by gravity.

Rill erosion is the process by which water flows in small channels, causing the erosion of soil and the formation of rills.

Streambank erosion is the process by which water in large channels erodes and transports soil and rock material along the banks of the channel.
