    The document discusses different types of soil erosion such as sheet erosion, gully erosion, and wind erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of topsoil is removed evenly from the surface. If not addressed, sheet erosion can further develop into rill erosion where small drainage channels begin to form. Wind erosion is the main form of erosion that occurs in desert and semi-arid areas where loose soil is blown away. Shore erosion refers to the wearing away of land and sediment near a shoreline.
