Which soil erosion type is associated with strong winds?

Wind erosion is a type of soil erosion that occurs when strong winds blow across loose, dry, and bare soil. This process can lift and transport soil particles, particularly fine particles, into the air and carry them over great distances. Wind erosion is most common in arid and semi-arid regions where vegetation cover is sparse, allowing the wind to easily dislodge and carry away soil. This type of erosion can lead to significant loss of topsoil, which is crucial for maintaining soil fertility, leading to diminished agricultural productivity and degraded ecosystems.

In contrast, the other types of erosion listed are not primarily driven by wind. Slip erosion involves the movement of soil on slopes due to gravity, water erosion is caused by rainfall and surface runoff washing away soil, and overgrazing refers specifically to the impact of livestock feeding on vegetation, which can lead to increased susceptibility to erosion but isn't a type of erosion itself.
