Answer 2

(a) creating deep channels is not a measure to reduce soil erosion.

Explanation:

• Strip cropping is a farm technique that helps to reduce soil erosion. In this method, different crops are grown in the alternate line which is parallel to each other on the same piece of land.
• Creating deep channels will lead to increase the process of soil erosion. This will lead to the formation of ravine topography. For example, Chambal valley in Madhya Pradesh is a famous ravine topography.
• Contour ploughing is a farm technique that is practiced in regions like at the hill slopes, the ridges, and furrow. In this case, there is less chance of formation of gullies due to soil erosion and also reduce the runoff so that plants receive more water.
