Consider the following types of erosion
1. Gully erosion
2. Splash erosion
3. Normal erosion
4. Rill erosion
5. Sheet erosion
The correct sequence in terms of the increasing order of soil loss from the field due to these types of erosion is
A. 2, 3, 4, 5, 1
B. 2, 3, 5, 4, 1
C. 3, 2, 4, 1, 5
D. 3, 2, 5, 4, 1
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The correct sequence in terms of the increasing order of soil loss from the field due to these types of erosion is:Normal erosion < Splash erosion < Sheet erosion < Rill erosion < Gully erosion.
Normal erosion is a fluvial procedure of upliftment of landmass as per sea level spread through geomorphic agents in glacial and arid areas.
Splash erosion results from the bombardment of the soil surface by raindrops.
Sheet erosion is the uniform removal of soil in thin layers.
Rill erosion occurs when runoff water forms small channels as it concentrates down a slope.
Gully erosion is a widespread and often dramatic form of soil erosion caused by flowing surface water.
