Mostly what prevents erosion is the roots of various plants grabbing hold of the dirt and holding it in place, what makes plants difficult to pull out of the ground also keeps the soil from washing away too much.

Rows of trees planted for the purpose of preventing soil erosion due to wind are known as?
windbreaks
How do plants prevent weathering and erosion?
By covering the soil surface, thereby preventing it from being loose and exposed freely to direct sunlight, wind and other denudational agent.
What is the best natural defense against erosion?
Trees serving as wind breaks thereby preventing wind erosion, and creeping plants, which helps prevent the soil from direct sunlight and from washing away of its surface by water. The above are types of natural defense against erosion, but they might possibly not be the best.
What is the explanation for the types of soil erosion?
SOIL EROSION: The process by which top layer of the soil gets weathered away by agents like wind, water, glaciers is called as soil erosionfollowing are three types of soil erosion:Sheet erosion: Sheet erosion involves the removal of a uniform thin layer of soil by raindrop splash or water run-off.Gullies erosion: Gully erosion occurs when runoff water accumulates, and then rapidly flows in narrow channels during or immediately after heavy rains or melting snow, removing soil to a considerable depth.Wind erosion: The erosion in which the wind picks up and carries loose soil particles
How do you explain how the steepness of the land affects soil erosion?
The steeper the hillside, the higher chance for soil erosion.
How does trees help in preventing soil erosion?
Trees help in preventing soil erosion by holding the soil particles together with the help of their roots. Roots are like a net holding a large area of soil particles together and thus preventing soil erosion.
Maintaining the ferrility of soil by preventing erosion and nutrient loss in called?
Maintaining the fertility of soil by preventing erosion and nutrient loss is called soil conservation.
Is no-till farming and contour farming two examples of preventing soil erosion?
Yes. No-till farming and contour farming are two examples of preventing soil erosion.
What are three methods of preventing soil erosion?
-by increasing the planting -
What has the biggest effect in preventing soil erosion?
Burning trees
What is soil evolution?
Soil erosion is the process in which topsoil is washed, carried, or pushed away by outside forces. In many cases wind erosion is responsible for soil erosion in dry climates, and water erosion is responsible in wet climates.
Which type soil erosion responsible for chambal ravines?
gully erosion
What are the methods use preventing for soil erosion?
vegetation would be one
What is grass good for?
Preventing erosion of the soil and feeding herbivorous animals
Soil erosion is mainly caused by what?
wave action
How do floods cause soil erosion and soil erosion causes floods?
when flood occurs some part of soil mainly the upper layer carrying humus due to which soil erosion occurs
Why are plants helpful in preventing erosion?
Their roots help hold soil in place.
