, Use when calculating SOIL YIELD for a specific rainfall event at
a specific location
When to use the MUSLE equation
The process in which, by actions of the wind, a soil particle is
detached and removed from its location
Wind Erosion
-Surface creep
-Saltation
-Suspension
Types of wind erosion
Soil particles begin to roll along the surface
Surface Creep
