How much soil has been lost to erosion?
Erosion is the process of weathering and transport of solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) in the natural environment or their source and deposits them elsewhere. It is a natural process that has been going on for millions of years. It would be extremely hard to estimate how much soil has been eroded. ChaCha!
