Appears In: Water Management ,   Soils & Soil Fertility-Plant & Soil Sciences ,   Soils & Soil Fertility-lawn, yard, & garden ,   Water ,   Soils & Soil Fertility-crops ,   Soils & Soil Fertility-Horticulture
During a rainfall, millions of drops fall at velocities reaching 30 feet per second. They explode against the ground, splashing soil as high as 3 feet in the air and as far as 5 feet from where they hit. Without raindrops, there would be little soil erosion caused by water. But of course, without raindrops there also would be no crops. 714K
