I wonder there are four main types of soil erosion erosion is a disruption and displacement of the soil on the ground, which may be moved by water wind or human interference. There are four main types splash erosion. This is when water usually a raindrop hits soil causes it to be displaced.
Sheet erosion. This is when sheets of water flow over land carrying the soil with it. Rill erosion this is when running water creates small channels, like tiny rivers which travel through soil and create gaps in the soil where the water run through and gully erosion this is the most drastic form of erosion.
It is a much larger form of rill erosion where running water creates gullies like a small Valley in the soil.
