This bar graph shows the average annual erosion of cropland in Montana for every five years between 1982 and 2010. The lighter segment of each bar represents wind erosion while the darker segment represents sheet and rill erosion. Sheet erosion is the erosion of a thin layer of topsoil over an entire area, usually caused by the particle movement and impact of rainfall. Rill erosion occurs when runoff water create small concentrated channels as it runs down a slope. Based on the data shown, what general statement can be made about Montana's cropland erosion history?

Sheet and rill erosion moved more soil each year than wind

Erosion rates were generally steady for 1997-2010.

Erosion rates have steadily increased since 1982.

Erosion only occurs every five years in Montana.
