Answer 2

Plant cover acts to stabilise soils during their development and helps to prevent erosion of the soil. ... On steep slopes, such as hillsides, the soils are often very thin because the soil tends to be washed down the slopes by the rain. In flat positions, such as plains and valley floors, the soils tend to be thicker.
