Q. |
Soil erosion can be prevented by – |
A. | Increasing bird population |
B. | Afforestation |
C. | Removal of vegetation |
D. | Overgrazing |
Answer» B. Afforestation | |
Explanation: Soil erosion takes place when the soil is blown away by the wind or washed awayby the rain. Afforestation or planting trees can check soil erosion as roots of trees/plants hold the soil. Thus, when more trees are planted their roots don't allow the soil to be blown or washed away and prevent soil erosion. |
