Question

What are the different ways to prevent soil erosion?

Answer 1

Soil erosion: The degradation of the top layer of soil is called soil erosion.

The different ways to prevent soil erosion are as follows:

1. Afforestation: planting more trees helps in holding soil and prevents the soil erosion
2. Rotation of crops: growing mixed crops helps in maintaining soil fertility.
3. Maintenance of drainage: arranging a good drainage system in the fields avoids the rainwater above the fields rather it flows through the drainage.
