Question

what steps can be taken to control soil erosion in hilly areas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Following steps are taken to control the soil erosion in hilly areas: (i) Contour ploughing: this refers to ploughing along contour lines. (ii) Terrace farming: construction of steps along the hilly areas by cutting the rock layers to reduce the flow of rivers. (iii) Plugging of gullies to prevent gully erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes.

2) Steps can be cut out on the slopes making terraces.

3) Strips of grass are left to grow between the crops. This breaks the force of wind.
