2.2 Urbanized Areas: Definition
E rosivity is the term used to describe the potential for soil to wash off disturbed, devegetated earth
during storms. The potential for erosion is in part determined by the soil type and geology of the
site. For instance, dense, clay-like soils on a glacial plain will erode less readily when it rains than will
and Description sandy soils on the side of a hill. Another important factor is the amount and force of precipitation
expected during the time the earth will be exposed. While it is impossible to predict the weather several

Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), dated January 1997. (Note that a more updated version of
