Splash Erosion

Prepared by:

Katelyn, Shelby, and Austin

Splash erosion is the first stage of the erosion process. It occurs when raindrops hit bare soil. The explosive impact breaks up soil aggregates so that individual soil particles are 'splashed' onto the soil surface.

Striking bare soil directly at 5-20 mph. Detaches soil particles. Particles can then be transported by the action of water and/or wind.
