OBS

L'adjectif «affouillable», susceptible d'être affouillé, se rapporte à une réalité plus spécifique que l'érosion, soit l'affouillement. En effet le verbe «affouiller» signifie «creuser», en parlant des eaux remuantes et tourbillonnantes. L'érosion, par opposition, désigne plutôt l'action lente du vent ou de l'eau sur le sol.
