<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Mining and deforestation are human activities that cause soil erosion. Not only human actions but natural agents such as wind and running water can cause soil erosion. Soil erosion caused by wind is called wind erosion. Strip Cropping is a method of farming in which different crops are sown in alternate strips to prevent soil erosion.
