Answer:
Soil erosion is the process by which top soil particles, specifically on steep inclines such as riverbeds, hills, or mountains are loosened or washed away.
Explanation:
Factors include heavy rainstorms, removal of natural trees, bushes, and other vegetation from the area, and water runoff.
Measures to counteract erosion include planting more permanent vegetation, installing geotextiles, and riprap (stabilizing stones and boulders).
