Types of Erosion

Soil erosion can be divided into two very general categories: geological erosion and accelerated erosion. Accelerated erosion is the type that will be covered in most depth. It includes such problems as wind erosion and water erosion caused by rain and poor drainage. Three types of erosion are:
  1. sheet erosion
  2. rill erosion
  3. gully erosion
