Solution
Top soil erosion is the loss of the fertile top layer of soil, which contains rich organic matter, minerals, soil air, and microorganisms essential for crop production. It occurs due to natural factors and human activities like overgrazing, tillage, and mining, leading to soil degradation and reduced fertility. The rate of soil erosion is faster than soil formation, making lands infertile and less productive.
