What is countour plowing?
If you mean Contour Plowing, it is to plow in accordance with the shape or surface of the land to trap water run off and prevent erosion
Planting along the natural slope of the land to reduce soil erosion is called?
Countour Farming
How might the problem of soil loss on flat land be different from that land?
because crops are planted on the flat tops of the terraces.countour plowing other crops are planted between bands of grain crops along the countour of the slope
What does contour plowing reduce with soil?
Contour plowing is one way to reduce soil erosion. This method is also known for preventing tillage erosion. Preventing soil erosion helps reduce negative effects like flooding, reduced crop productivity, poor water quality and habitat destruction.
Four factors that can reduce the amount of direct runoff?
i can give you one fator DAM is one of them
What is the definition of countour plowing?
is a plowin countour that can help plants do their thning and help the world
What are some types of soil conservation?
There are three types of soil conservation: countour plowing, conservation plowing, and crop rotation.
What is countour plowing?
If you mean Contour Plowing, it is to plow in accordance with the shape or surface of the land to trap water run off and prevent erosion
The process of changing one steep field into series of smaller flatter fields is called what?
Countour plowing is the practice of plowing fields along the curves of a slope.
What is conservation plowing?
a technique where farmers plow with the curve of the land insted of in straight lines It is also called Contour plowing its when you plow on a curve of a hill to prevent runoff Conservation plowing, or contour farming, is is the farming practice of plowing across a slope, following its elevation contour lines.
Planting along the natural slope of the land to reduce soil erosion is called?
Countour Farming
What two farming methods help prevent soil erosion due to water runoff?
Contour plowing and terracing are the two main methods that farmers use to prevent soil erosion due to water runoff.
What can farmers do to reduce soil reduce?
Soil erosion is a serious agricultural issue. It has, in the past, contributed to environmental problems, such as the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. In contemporary times, farmers have a couple of options they can take to reduce soil erosion:Planting wind-rows - wind rows are columns of, typically, plants that surround the fields, in order to break the wind, and reduce soil erosion.Contour plowing - a form of plowing that involves concentric, sloped fields instead of steps (this reduces topsoil exposure, and thus, reduces soil erosion).No-till farming - by replacing the act of plowing (which removes weeds), with heavier use of herbicides, roots are not disturbed, and soil erosion is minimized. However, this is done at the cost of increased chemical runoff.
How does clmate effect the amount of runoff?
Warm climates reduce runoff because evaporation increases. cold climates reduce runoff because precipitation is trapped in a form of snow or ice so there is little imediate runoffif traveling occurs slowly there is less runoff but if thawing occurs rapidly runoff can cause a significant problem like flooding nd mudslides
How can people reduce rain runoff and erosion?
Plant vegetation.
How might the problem of soil loss on flat land be different from that land?

What is a way to decrease the amount of water pollution?
Use contour plowing, and plant lines of trees and tall grasses to provide vegetative buffers to reduce runoff and soil erosion. Some organic farms use no-till methods (not plowing) this greatly reduces the amount of soil lost to erosion. Pesticides and nitrates from fertilizers, and animal are a major cause of water pollution. It is estimated that farmers spray 10lbs of chemicals on each acre, and 20% of the chemicals runoff into local rivers and streams. The reduction of chemical pesticides and fertilizers help. Also, the creation of a wetland or marsh around the area helps to take up the nitrates from fertilizers and animal wastes.
