There's a lot of energy in falling raindrops. It has been estimated that the energy expended by a 1-inch rain On an acre ol| ground is equal to that require^, to plow 10 acres of land. A soil in good condition has the fine particles clumped together in coarse granules. Sucty a soil can absorb water quickly because of the large opening^ between the granules. However, rain breaks unprotected granules into fine particles that clog the openings of the surface atid seal it over. This decreases the rate at which water is absorbed, and there is more runoff with a resulting increase in erosion.
