Heavy rain fall and floods can wash away top soil. This may leave a denser, clay or gravel subsoil on the surface, making farming difficult. In some parts of the world, Intensive cultivation and over use of inorganic fertilisers has allowed the wind to blow off the top soil. This has resulted in the formation of "Dust Bowl" conditions.
