i disagree with you terracing helps stop erosion . i agree when you said it slow water down so honestly if i had to grade you i give you a 1/2 .
Terracing is used to grow plants on hillsides.

The mountain had no terracing.

terracing
Terracing is most often used in hilly or mountainous regions where the landscape is steep and prone to erosion. By creating stepped platforms, terracing helps to prevent soil erosion, manage water runoff, and make farming more feasible on these challenging terrains.
Terracing is a method to produce flat land on slopes. It can make agriculture easier, and can potentially help control erosion.
Contour plowing,terracing
Terracing was (and in some cases still is) used to grow crops on hillsides and mountains.
it's been used in countries like Nepal and Tibet for thousands of years.
terracing allows you to grow more on land that would normally not be used for agriculture.
Terracing is used in southeast Asian agriculture to create flat land on steep slopes for cultivation. This helps prevent soil erosion, allows for better water retention, and maximizes land use for growing crops in a region where flat land is limited.
