Why does eastern parts of england get soil erosion?
Soil erosion occurs across the UK, and with intense rainfall is more common. Erosion can result from soil degradation caused by; overworking the soil, compaction, capping where conditions impeed water infiltration. The resulting run-off carries soil and nutrients and pesticides off the fields contaminating water courses, covering roads as well as leaving rivulets/gullies in fields. Wind erosion can also occur. This is seen on light blowing sands in some years as wind scours out loose soil.
