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:
(i) Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes. This is contour ploughing.
(ii) Steps can be cut out on the slopes maping terraces. Terrace cultivation restricts erosion.
(iii) Strip cropping is a very effective method of soil conservation or controlling soil erosion.
Large fields are divided into strips and strips of grass are left to grow between the crops.
