Question

In hilly areas erosion is minimized by which kind of farming?

Answer 1

Soil erosion:

1. It is the process of topsoil being washed away by water and wind.

Erosion can be minimized by:

1. Terrace farming helps to minimize soil erosion in hilly areas.
2. A terrace is a sloped plane broken into series for a flat surface that mimics a step for more efficient farming.
3. Terrace farming reduces the volume and speed of water traveling across the soil surface, reducing soil erosion significantly.
4. Terracing allows for more extensive cropping than would be possible otherwise.
