    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Soil loss is as a result of detachment and transportation of soil particles from one place to another due to rainfall.

This work analyzed the soil samples collected from two erosion sites namely, nNkede and Akaokwa all in Imo State and the soil loss for the samples which is the mainstay of this project was determined using a rainfall simulator.

The basic causes of erosion have been classified into three factors, the climatic factor and geologic factor and  human activities.The climatic factor: The climate factors that influence erosion are rainfall amount, intensity and frequency. During the period of frequent rainf ... Continue Reading
