The soil erosion
Example: Soil erosion removes topsoil through wind
Definition
"Soil erosion" refers to the process by which the top layer of soil is gradually worn away and removed, often by natural forces such as wind, water, or human activities, leading to reduced soil fertility and environmental degradation.
Etymology
The term "soil erosion" combines "soil," from Old English 'sol' meaning the earth or ground, and "erosion," derived from Latin 'erosio,' meaning gnawing or wearing away. Together, they describe the natural or human-induced wearing away of the earth's surface.
