Answer»  Soil Erosion: The detachment of the soil particles from the uppermost portion of the earth’s crust is called soil erosion. Steps taken to prevent soil erosion are : (i) Contour Ploughing: The fields are ploughed and sown along the contours instead up and down the slope. (ii) Planting of Shelter belts: In desert areas trees are planted on the margins of deserts perpendicular to the wind direction which prevents soil erosion.  |
