Erodibility refers to the ease with which a particular soil can become detached and transported by wind, water, or ice. Erosivity is a description of the ability of typical natural forces (wind or rain) in a geographic area to erode existing soil. These characteristics interact, and the combined effect can be significant. Assigning values to erodibility and erosivity is helpful in predicting potential erosion and soil loss from any parcel of land. When the soil is easily detached and transported (erodibility is high), significant soil loss can occur even in relatively mild rain or wind events. When the climate is particularly rainy or windy (erosivity is high), even well consolidated soils can be eroded. when both are high, extreme measures will be needed.
