Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, and animals (including humans). In accordance with these agents, erosion is sometimes divided into water erosion, glacial erosion, snow erosion, wind (aeolian) erosion, zoogenic erosion and anthropogenic erosion such as tillage erosion.[1] Soil erosion may be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed, or it may occur at an alarming rate causing a serious loss of topsoil. The loss of soil from farmland may be reflected in reduced crop production potential, lower surface water quality and damaged drainage networks. Soil erosion could also cause sinkholes. 109.63.56.218 (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was very insightful!! I am a visual learner and often appreciate graphics as they help me read and understand the material better and faster. I know there are many people out there who are the same way, which is why I really loved the featured animation. I also I loved the images you picked for the article.

I also would suggest perhaps including more graphics that actually diagram erosion process. Great job!
