भू-क्षरण/भूक्षय


Explanation:
These are tow more alternative terms used for the phenomenon.
Soil erosion as Langclinic has rightly said is: Process by which soil particles are detached and transported by wind, water, and gravity to a downslope or downstream location.
"Soil erosion is common in areas with steep slopes, where trees have been cut down, in droughts when crops and other vegetation grows poorly and in rural areas which are overpopulated. Nepal, in the Himalayan Mountains, has severe problems caused by increased population density and steep slopes."
