A map highlights the regions of the world with areas affected by wind erosion highlighted in dark red and water erosion-affected areas highlighted in dark blue.

Areas of soil degradation where human activities result in high or very high levels of water and wind erosion

Soil Erosion

In North America, wind erosion significantly impacts the Great Plains in southern Canada and the adjacent northern Great Plains of the United States. This issue extends to the southern plains, affecting regions in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. Water erosion is prevalent in the eastern plains, the Midwest, parts of the Mississippi River Valley, Michigan, southern Ontario, and the mountainous areas of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. In the western United States, water erosion affects parts of California and eastern Washington, while wind erosion is notable in the deserts of southern California, Arizona, and Nevada. Western Mexico faces water erosion along its length, which continues through Central America to Panama and includes major Caribbean islands like Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Wind erosion is also observed in northern Mexico. In South America, water erosion is prominent along the Andes mountains from Venezuela to Bolivia, in central Chile south of Santiago, and along Brazil's Atlantic coast from Recife southward to southeastern areas. The southern Andes of Bolivia and northern Chile experience wind erosion, as does east-central Brazil. Northwestern Europe sees minimal soil erosion, but water erosion does occur in Spain, southeastern and central Europe, and western Russia, extending into Siberia in Asia. Ukraine and southern Russia are susceptible to wind erosion. In North Africa, wind erosion affects the northern Sahara from Algeria to western Egypt and extends across the Sahel from Mauritania to Sudan. Sub-Saharan Africa has scattered water erosion patches in West Africa, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, southern Africa (notably South Africa), and Madagascar. Southwest Asia experiences widespread wind erosion on the Arabian Peninsula and in Iran, while water erosion impacts Turkey, northern Iran, Yemen, and southern Oman. Central Asia faces water erosion in northwestern Kazakhstan and Afghanistan. In South Asia, northwest India deals with wind erosion, whereas water erosion is widespread across India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and parts of Bangladesh. Southeast Asia encounters extensive water erosion in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia (particularly Borneo and Java). East Asia experiences water erosion in large parts of eastern China and wind erosion in northern China, eastern Mongolia, and various areas in western China. In Oceania, small areas of water erosion are found in eastern and western Australia, Vanuatu, and New Zealand’s North Island.

Major Iron-Producing Areas in North America

A map illustrates major soil orders worldwide including ultisols, aridisols, histosols, entisols, rocky land, alfisols, shifting sand, spodosols, gelisols, inceptisols, oxisols, andisols, vertisols, mollisols, and ice/glacier.

Major Soil Orders

Areas shaded in various colors represent major soil orders globally.Ultisols (yellow) are found in the eastern United States, parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.Aridisols (green) dominate desert regions such as the southwestern United States, northern Africa (Sahara), and parts of Central Asia. Other regions include southern parts of South America and parts of Australia.Histosols (light green) are found in parts of Canada, northern Europe, and Russia.Entisols (light green) are scattered globally in areas like western North America, parts of South America, Africa, and Asia.Rocky Land (very light gray) is found in mountainous regions like the Rockies in North America, the Andes in South America, and part of central Asia.Alfisols (light gray) are found in parts of the United States, Europe, Africa, India, and Australia.Shifting Sand (gray) appears in desert regions such as the Sahara and central Australia. Other regions include parts of Saudi Arabia, China, and Uzbekistan.Spodosols (blue gray) cover most of Canada and parts of Europe such as Sweden.Gelisols (light blue) dominate northern regions of Canada and Russia. Other regions include parts of China.Inceptisols (blue) appear in regions such as Alaska, parts of Canada, Europe, and scattered across Russia, South Africa, and Asia.Oxisols (dark gray) are prevalent in tropical regions like the Amazon Basin in South America and parts of Southeast Asia. Other regions include parts of Africa.Andisols (blue) are found in volcanic regions like parts of the Pacific Northwest in the United States, parts of Mexico and Chile.Vertisols (light green) are found in regions such as India, parts of Africa, and eastern Australia. Other regions include eastern parts of Mexico and parts of Uruguay.Mollisols (maroon) cover the central plains of the United States, parts of South America, and Eastern Europe.Ice slash Glacier (blue) covers Greenland and parts of Arctic.
