Solution
Landslides is the common form of soil erosion on steep hillslopes during monsoon season.
Explanation:
During the monsoon season, lengthy and intense rainfall soaks the soil on steep mountain slopes, making it unusually heavy. This added water weight, along with gravity and reduced soil friction, allows large volumes of earth, rock, and topsoil to collapse and slide down the slope, resulting in a severe and disastrous form of mass soil erosion.
