How does no-till farming reduce soil erosion?
No-till farming does not disturb or loosen the soil except in very small amounts, so wind and water are much less able to get under the soil and move it, which is what erosion is.
Why does steep land or hilly topography limit agriculture?
EROSION!!! XD When it rains the dirt will be carried downward, resulting in less soil, and bad farming since you need soil.
What kind of change is soil erosion?
Erosion is the result of natural disasters such as landslides. When there is Soil Erosion in that given part of the soil, the soil's topsoil is very thin or washed away. When there is Soil Erosion, the soil will be not good to be planted with. Sometimes Soil Erosion can be good too in means of adding topsoil to the other parts of the soil that has less or no more topsoil.
Does erosion create soil?
It's the other way around. Erosion takes soil away and removes it. Erosion is bad for the soil. The more erosion there is, the less soil there is.
What can we do to help prevent soil erosion?
plant more trres, the trees roots will help less erosion by holding the soil

What water quality benefits do cover crops and no till farming provide?
less erosion of topsoil into water reserves.

What is the difference between maasai and kikuyu farming?
Maasai farming is not sustainable. THey are nomadic farmers whereas the Kikuyu are not. The kikuyu are sustainable farmers. they use trees to prevent soil erosion. They also use crop rotation. They own less cattle but keep them healthier
How does relief affect farming?
Gentle or flat relief is generally more productive for farming. 1. water is less likely to run off quickly on gentle slope 2. soil erosion is less likely to occur, therefore nutrients would not be lost. 3. easier for farmers to transport and operate heavy machines.
How can you reduce erosion of topsoil?
We can reduce erosion farting less, burping less and catching rainwater in our mouths
Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
Why had farming become unprofitable?
The value of agricultural goods decreased as farmers yielded more crops during successful seasons. Because of the surplus, the prices went down and it became less profitable. Paired with the risks associated with drought and flood seasons, farming became less financially viable.

What are the benefits of contour plowing and strip cropping?
Both of these farming methods focus on preserving topsoil by reducing erosion from water runoff. The major benefit to these methods is the preservation of the nutrients in the field, resulting in less fertilizer application and less need for artificial irrigation.

It's the other way around. Erosion takes soil away and removes it. Erosion is bad for the soil. The more erosion there is, the less soil there is.
What is the effects of soil erosion to condition of soil?
less fertile, less quality,less productive
