explain about types of soil, soil erosion and conservation of soil erosion
Answers
Answer:
- (soil) -----means the uppermost layer of the earth's crust, which contains the organic as well as mineral matter necessary for the growth of plants.
- many types of soil exit on the Earth
- like----black, alluvial soil, fertile soil
- 2. some type of (soil erosion)-- abrasion, attrition, hydraulic action and solution
- (conservation of Soil erosion)--- is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms.
There are six main soil types:
Clay.
Sandy.
Silty.
Peaty.
Chalky.
Loamy.
Soil erosion :
Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, it is one form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, animals, and humans.
Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water and wind or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.
Conservation of soil erosion:
Here are eight good ways to conserve soil.
Plant Trees. We all know that roots of trees firmly hold on to the soil. ...
Build Terraces. Terracing is a very good method of soil conservation. ...
No-till Farming. ...
Contour Plowing. ...
Crop Rotation. ...
Maintain Soil pH. ...
Water the Soil. ...
Salinity Management.
