Water erosion

Water erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from one location and transported to another by the movement of water. This can occur through rainfall, river flow, or ocean waves. As water flows over land, it can dislodge and carry away particles, leading to the wearing away of the landscape. Water erosion can create features like valleys and canyons, but it can also result in soil degradation, loss of fertile land, and sedimentation in waterways, which can impact ecosystems and human activities. Managing water erosion is important for sustainable land use and environmental health.
