Give reasons.
1. Soil erosion should be stopped.
2. Rainwater flowing down the hill slopes is muddy.
3. Areas should be reserved for pastures for animals.
4. Trees should be planted across the direction in which winds blow.

1. Clearing vegetation removes the protection of plants and roots needed to lock soil in place. ... When the topsoil is eroded from an area, that area loses its most nutrient-rich layer, and therefore soil quality is reduced. Poor soil quality means smaller crop yields and may even wash away seeds and small plants
2. Mudslides occur when a large amount of water causes the rapid erosion of soil on a steep slope. Rapid snowmelt at the top of a mountain or a period of intense rainfall can trigger a mudslide, as the great volume of water mixes with soil and causes it to liquefy and move downhill.
3. When the grazing of pastures by livestock is controlled it brings several benefits : Herding animal allow them to be watched and any problems.
4. The wind effect on plant growth results in thickening of leaf blade, reduction of leaf radius, reduction in stem elongation, and increase in stem radius and influences the direction of growth to align more closely with the wind vector, when its direction is consistent for a length of time.
