❥what is soil erosion how can it be prevented?
Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical, sources such as wind and water.
In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands. This has been worsening due to human activities such as agriculture and deforestation.
Soil erosion is a serious environmental issue. Steps should be taken to curb this problem. Following are some of the methods of soil erosion prevention:
♧Plant trees on barren lands to limit erosion of soil.
♧Add mulch and rocks to prevent the plants and grass underneath to prevent soil erosion.
♧Mulch matting can be used to reduce erosion on the slopes.
♧Put a series of fibre logs to prevent any water or soil from washing away.
♧A wall at the base of the slope can help in preventing the soil from eroding.
