Answer

Soil erosion is the process where the top layer of soil is worn away by natural forces like wind and water. This removes fertile topsoil, which is essential for plant growth.

Soil depletion is the loss of essential nutrients in the soil, making it less fertile and unable to support healthy plant life. This can happen due to continuous farming without replenishing nutrients, or from erosion itself.
