Erosion Patterns
Definition
Erosion Patterns are spatial distributions and directions of soil loss driven by water, wind, or human activity. GIS reveals these patterns through terrain analysis, land use changes, and historical imagery comparisons.
Application
Erosion studies inform watershed protection, agriculture, and infrastructure planning. GIS allows multi-year trend visualization and prediction models to anticipate erosion hotspots.
FAQ
1. Why analyze erosion patterns?
To understand soil loss mechanisms and prioritize conservation efforts.
2. Why analyze erosion patterns?
Through spatial overlay, terrain modeling, and NDVI-based land cover change detection.
3. Why analyze erosion patterns?
Steep slopes, overgrazed lands, construction sites, deforested areas.
4. Why analyze erosion patterns?
ArcGIS, RUSLE models, QGIS, remote sensing platforms.
