What are the various causes of soil erosion?

(N/A) Causes of Soil Erosion :
$(i)$ Wind: Strong winds carry away the fertile topsoil particles.
$(ii)$ Rain: Heavy rainfall washes away unprotected topsoil,especially on slopes.
$(iii)$ Improper Farming: Poor agricultural practices,such as improper tilling or leaving fields fallow for long periods,expose the soil to erosion.
$(iv)$ Flooding: Frequent flooding of rivers removes the topsoil from fields located near river banks.
$(v)$ Deforestation: The removal of trees and vegetation reduces the soil's ability to hold together,leading to increased erosion.
