Question

Soil erosion can be prevented by

• A. Deforestation
• B. Adding fertilizers
• C. Raising forests
• D. Irrigation

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Soil erosion occurs due to wind, rain and run off water. It can be prevented by raising forests or afforestation, the roots of the plants holds the soil while the canopy reduces the impact of rainfall on the soil and thus prevents it from getting eroded. It also helps more rain water to seep inside the soil.

So, the correct answer is 'Raising forests'
