Concept:Raindrops hit the soil surface and detach tiny soil particles from the top layer.Explanation:This type of erosion is caused directly by the force of raindrops, not by flowing water.Sheet erosion removes a uniform thin layer of soil over a large area.Rill erosion forms small, shallow channels due to running water.Gully erosion creates large, deep channels from concentrated water flow.Splash erosion is the detachment and movement of soil particles caused by raindrop impact.Answer:D. splash erosion
