Solution
Soil Erosion
The washing away of the valuable topsoil is called erosion. Erosion occurs not only because of water but also by the action of wind and ice. Erosion destroys agricultural lands as the nutrients are washed away along with the soil. Therefore, it is important to prevent soil erosion.
Methods to prevent or reduce soil erosion
- Afforestation (planting of trees)
Prevention of the cutting of trees
- Prevent over-grazzing
