Answer 2

Answer:

To protect soil from losing its fertility, humus etc. we must keep a check on soil erosion.

Even it can help us to retain the cultivable land as the soils protected form erosion have better minerals and nutrients essential for crop plants.

Some measures to check soil erosion are:

1. Ploughing across contour lines can slow down the water flow in the slopes. This is known as Contour ploughing.

2. Making use of terrace farming techniques to prevent the water take away the top soil and cause erosion.

3. Using strips of grass to check erosion by wind and water. This divides the wind force and causes less damage.
