Puerto Rico Relative Vulnerability to Erosion

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Physical factors, such as the slope of the land, the texture of the soil, and the precipitation regime influence erosion in an area.

Description

Parts of Puerto Rico are very steep and erosion-prone. In addition, the nature of the soil and intense rainfall events promote severe erosion in these areas.

Erosion can be extreme in exposed areas (cleared for a road or residential construction, or where soil is exposed due to cropping patterns or agricultural cycle.)
