Splash erosion, rain drop erosion

 Splash erosion, rain drop erosion

When falling raindrops hit the soil surface, they tear off the soil grains and splash them into the air. The process of fragmentation is the phenomenon of the formation of these soil splashes. Thus, splash erosion begins with the process of breaking up the soil clusters with the knocking effect of the raindrop, and occurs with the transport of the shattered grains by the gravitational forces down the slope.
