Terracing
Terracing is a soil conservation technique that helps prevent erosion of sloping hills by heavy rains. It involves creating a series of steps on the hillside, reducing the slope and creating flat surfaces that help slow down the flow of water and reduce soil erosion.

Erosion is the washing away of the top soil which is rich in nutrients by the activities of man and animals.When a heavy machine causes erosion, it makes the soil looses it's nutrients.
Rill erosion is a type of erosion that begins when a small stream forms during a heavy rain. It involves the formation of tiny channels in the soil caused by the flow of water, which can eventually lead to more severe erosion processes like gully erosion.
The rock was so old it had lots of erosion.
Terracing helps prevent soil erosion by reducing the slope of the land, which slows down the flow of water across the surface. This allows water to infiltrate into the soil, reducing runoff and minimizing the occurrence of erosion. The terraces act as barriers to prevent soil from being washed away by heavy rainfall or irrigation.
It's heavy, it moves, it grinds.
No, wind erosion typically occurs in areas with sparse or no vegetation cover. Vegetation helps to stabilize soil, reducing the risk of erosion by wind. Areas with heavy vegetation cover are less prone to wind erosion compared to areas with little or no vegetation.
Heavy rain in a desert can cause erosion because the compacted soil in deserts cannot absorb large amounts of water quickly. This leads to surface runoff, which can carry the loose sand and sediment, causing erosion in the form of gullies and washouts.
