Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accelerated erosion is the term used to describe the increase in surface erosion due to the removal of vegetative ground cover. It is a result of human-induced activities such as deforestation, land-use changes, overgrazing, and construction activities. The other options, such as hyper erosion, quantum erosion, and super erosion, are not commonly used terms to describe surface erosion.
