Sol.Erosion, which is the weathering away of soil and rock, can happen by wind, water, or gravity. It’s natural, but sometimes people do things to speed up the process or cause it to happen in places where it wouldn’t normally. Rill erosion is one type of water erosion, but it is part of a series of events that begin with raindrops falling on bare soil.Raindrops hit bare soil with enough force to break the soil aggregates. These fragments wash into soil pores and prevent water from infiltrating the soil. Water then accumulates on the surface and increases runoff which takes soil with it.
