Earth Science 1 Page Paper
Write a 1 page paper describing the link between the amount of precipitation, the topography (incline of soil), and how plants effect the amount of erosion experienced. Your paper should be a full page (12 font, double spaced) and have at least one source cited in APA format.

Answer preview
The amount of precipitation refers to the quantity of water falling to the soil that gains momentum as it moves through the gravitational pull. In contrast, soil topography refers to the inclination angle of the soil surface from a horizontal distance. The link between the amount of precipitation and soil inclination depends on the intensity of the precipitation and angle of inclination that influences surface runoff and soil erosion.
Increased precipitation in a steep soil inclination promotes surface runoff and soil erosion, while increased rainfall in a gentle soil inclination promotes less severe surface runoff and soil erosion (Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tasa, 2018). This means, in a steep soil inclination,
