Question

what is terrace farming and contour ploughing?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:In terracing, wide steps are cut around the slopes of hills to prevent soil erosion. Contour ploughing follows the “natural shape” of the slope without altering it. Terrace farming alters the shape of the slope to produce flat areas that provide a catchment for water.

Answer 2

Contour ploughing refers to ploughing parallel to the contours of a hill slope. This traps the water from flowing down the slope.

whereas

Terrace farming is a cropping system where crops are grown on terraced contour lines in hilly or mountainous regions to conserve water, avoid erosion and maximize efficiency and crop output.
