(a) mountainous regions
Cause: Lack of trees lead to loosening of soil which gets washed away due to rainfall and wind
Remedy: Afforestation
(b) Steep slopes and plateaus
Cause: Lack of trees lead to loosening of soil which gets washed away due to rainfall and wind
Remedy: Afforestation
(c) Coastal areas
Cause: caused by hydraulic action, abrasion, impact and corrosion by wind, water, and other forces, natural or unnatural.
Remedy: Reduce human interference
(d) Desert areas
Cause: Desert areas are largely affected by winds as there is little vegetation to hold the soil.
