Explanation:
Step farming or terrace farming is common in hills to check soil erosion through water current on the slopes.
Terrace farming is most common in hills as it provides a physical barrier to soil erosion by water.
The mountain is made into steps which slows down the speed of rain water preventing damage to crops.
