How do you define terraced farming?
Terraced fields are used on mountainous landscapes to reduce erosion and surface runoff,
How can a farmer slow erosion by the wind?
Farmers can reduce wind erosion by planting rows of trees around the perimeters of their fields to slow the wind at ground level.
How can you reduce erosion of topsoil?
We can reduce erosion farting less, burping less and catching rainwater in our mouths
What help reduce erosion?
Vegetation.
How do rocks reduce or prevent soil erosion?
It blocks the erosion from happening. That is why it prevents/reduces the effects of erosion
What can be done to reduce the amount of erosion happening?
The planting of more trees can protect soil from wind and water erosion. The terracing of hillsides also helps to reduce the effects of erosion.
How can coastal erosion be reduced?
you can use sea walls, beach rebuilding, groynes or rip-rap.
Can afforestation reduce soil erosion?
yes
When people plant vegetation they do what to erosion?

How do humans reduce erosion?

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 can erosoin on a farm be reduced?
Surrrounding the erosion with trees will in the highest degree help reduce the erosion.
