Answer 1

Answer:

mark me as a brainlisest or like  my answer

Explanation:

Soil erosion occurs when the weathered soil particles are dislodged and carried away by wind or water. Deforestation, agricultural development, temperature extremes, precipitation including acid rain, and human activities contribute to this erosion. Humans speed up this process by construction, mining, cutting of timber, over cropping and overgrazing. It results in floods and cause soil erosion.

Answer 2

The correct option is option b. Terrace farming.

• Terrace farming is a  cultivation practice adopted on the slopes of hills and mountains by constructing steps/terraces for the growing of crops.
• Hilly terrains are more prone to soil erosion.
• Deforestation(cutting of trees in numerous numbers), overgrazing and natural disasters like floods increase the rate of soil erosion.
• This agricultural technique prevents the draining away of soil nutrients in heavy rainfalls and also helps in the reduction of soil erosion and water loss.
• The water flows to the lower built "steps" when the upper ones are full and purposefully constructed pipe outlets carries out the excess of water from each terrain and thereby reducing soil erosion.
