Question

Can you tell how terrace farming and contour farming in mountainous areas stop soil from being washed away? Explain in detail

Answer 1

Answer:

In terrace farming, a terrace is a piece of the sloped plane that is cut into a series of successively receding platforms, that resemble steps. This prevents rain from washing away soil, hence preventing soil erosion.

Contouring means farming with row patterns nearly level around a hill – not up and down hill. The rows form hundreds of small dams that slow water flow and increase infiltration to reduce erosion
