Question

Which methods can help prevent wind erosion?

Answer 1

Avoid overgrazing, reduce or eliminate tillage. Keep a vegetative cover, grow plants.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind erosion can be define as the removal of the top most layer or sub-layers of the soil by physical agent like wind. This reduces the fertility of the soil as the essential minerals necessary for the growth of plants get lost.

The methods which can help to prevent wind erosion are:

1. Growing plants: The trees and plants have roots which binds the soil. As generally the soil which remains in a loose state get blown away by wind erosion this will prevent the soil erosion.

2. Tillage farming: Sometimes farmers leave the straws or woody stalks of the last harvest so as to retain the quality of the soil by preventing the wind erosion.
