GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF EROSION IN ARSUZ STREAM (ISKENDERUN, S, TURKEY)

Soil erosion which can be examined in general under two headings as natural and geological erosion causes the soil on earth to be carried to sea and lake environments day by day. This fact causes decreases in agricultural areas per capita in the world whose population is increasing rapidly. Erosion...
