    The Three Major Causes of Soil Erosion Amanda Brown Environmental Science 136 Rainfall and runoff is a water erosion problem also known as splash erosion. This is the first stage in the erosion process. The impact of rainfall drops on the soil surface can break down soil aggregates as the impact of falling raindrops breaks up the topsoil. This erosion is caused by long lasting and less intense storms. Runoff can occur whenever there is excess water on a slope that can’t be absorbed into the

    SOIL Soil is formed at a rate of only 1 cm every 100 to 400 years and it takes 3000 to 12000 years to build enough soil to form productive land. This means that soil is a nonrenewable resource and once destroyed it is gone forever. If we disregard this‚ a time will come when there would not be enough soil left to sustain life on earth‚ because the soil is a necessary growth medium for plants‚ a home for certain insects and animals‚ as well as a medium from which we get minerals‚ such as gold.

Among those that had been losing their topsoil were Cebu‚ Batangas‚ Marinduque‚ Ilocos Sur‚ and La Union. This means that 58 per cent of the country’s total land area of 30 million hectares is susceptible to erosion. But
