_________ erosion is the removal of a thin layer of soil by water acting over the whole surface. This type of erosion damaged very fertile lands located on slopes, some of which have been eroded to a depth of about 15 cm.
Correct answer: C. Sheet erosion
- A. Rain splash rill erosion
- B. Stream bank erosion
- C. Sheet erosion
- D. Gully erosion
Explanation
Sheet erosion removes a relatively uniform thin layer of soil across the surface through flowing water. Rill and gully erosion instead form visible channels, while splash erosion is caused directly by raindrop impact.
