Question

7. Which of the following factors is not responsible for soil erosion?
a. deforestation
b. overgrazing by animals c. floods
d. building embankments
​

Answer 1

The following factor is not responsible for soil erosion: d. building embankments.

Building embankments can actually precent soil erosion instead of causing it. Embankments inhibit the flow of water, thus reducing erosion.

a. deforestation

By cutting down the trees, erosion is caused. The roots of the trees hold the soil firmly so that the soil can resist the pressure of the flowing water.

b. overgrazing by animals

As overgrazing is also causing the loss of trees, this factor will also cause soil erosion.

c. floods

​Floods increase the flow of water and as more energy is present in the water flowing with force, soil cannot hold onto the roots. Thus, floods are also responsible for soil erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

overgazing is the answer
