When soil is washed away by water and wind,it's called soil erosion.It usually happens at hills with not many trees.If there are many trees, the roots will hold the soil firmly so there will be a lesser chance of soil erosion to occur.

What is the process through which soil is washed away or blown away?

The process through which soil is washed away by water is called erosion. This occurs when rain or flowing water loosens and carries away soil particles. Soil can also be blown away by the wind, a process known as wind erosion, where strong winds lift and transport soil particles to other areas. Both erosion and wind erosion can contribute to soil degradation and loss of fertility.

How can you keep the soil from washing away or blowing it away?

You can prevent soil erosion by planting ground cover, such as grass or plants with deep root systems, to help hold the soil in place. Adding mulch or erosion control fabric can also help protect the soil from washing or blowing away. Implementing proper irrigation techniques to prevent excessive water runoff and using retaining walls or terracing on sloped areas can further help protect the soil.

What is the exact meaning of soil erosine?

I take it you mean "soil erosion": there is no such word as erosine. The dictionary definition of erosion is "the mechanical process of wearing or grinding something down." In soil erosion this is expanded to mean any process that removes soil, such as rainfall washing soil into water courses or wind blowing soil away. Soil erosion is usually prevented by vegetation such as grass holding the soil in place and allowing it to accumulate. Soil erosion often occurs when the native vegetation is stripped away e.g for farming. This exposes the soil to the effects of the weather such as wind and rain and allows erosion to carry away the soil in which crops could be grown. Eventually so much soil can be lost that the land is no longer useful for farming.
