In which location would be rate of soil erosion most likely be higher than the rate of soil formation? a. a river delta b. a steep slope c. a tropical area with moderate rainfall d. a temperature forest

B. A steep slope

Explanation:

The rate of erosion is the highest on barren lands and on steep slopes. The steep slopes are much more easy to erode because the gravity is pulling downwards, and the angle of the slope is helping that a lot. Also, the steeper the slope is, the less vegetation there is, thus the soil usually is not protected from erosion. When there's rain, snow, stronger winds, they manage to pull down the soil with ease as there's nothing that is an obstacle to stop them. That results in gradual leveling up of the slope, constantly losing on height, and eventually being totally flattened.
