    Question

    In the Universal Soil Loss Equation, the soil

    erodibility factor K is_?
    A Measure of the susceptibility of soil particles to detachment and transport Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Slope length gradient factor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Crop management factor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rainfall-runoff factor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    USLE .i.e. A=RKLSCP, K is the soil erodibility factor which is the measure of the susceptibility of soil particles to  detachment and transport. Soils with moderate soil structural stability haveK factore of 0.2-0.3, while easily eroded soils have K factor > 0.3.
