Objective: Identify the factors of soil erosion. Direction: Draw or cut out pictures of agents of soil erosion. Be able to give its reason. (20pts) Agents of Soil Erosion Reason/s
1.Running water is the leading cause of soil erosion, because water is abundant and has a lot of power.
2.Wind is also a leading cause of soil erosion because wind can pick up soil and blow it far away.
3.Rocks carried by glaciers scrape against the ground below, eroding both the ground and the rocks.
