the actions of wind or
water, soil particles are
detached and
transported.
Eroded material Sediment
suspended in wind or
water.
, The deposition of eroded Sedimentation
material.
What bears the impact of Receiving Waters
quantity and quality
degradation from
erosion?
Raindrop impact energy is Splash Erosion
enough to dislodge
surface sediment.
Rain splash detaching soil Sheet Erosion
particles lifting them up
and removing them by
shallow "sheets" of water
flowing down the sloped
soil surface.
As flow concentrates, Rill Erosion
small channels begin to
form in the soil surface.
Runoff cuts rills deeper Gully Erosion
and wider or several rills
join to form a large
channel.
Channels become Channel Erosion
unstable due to increased
flows or changes in
upstream sediment load.
Can happen when erosion Slope Failure
left unattended.
Erosion due to the Natural Erosion
influence of climatic
forces on the surface of
the earth.
