Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

Terrace farming is an ideal soil conservation method for hilly areas.

Short Note

Solution

Terrace farming plays a crucial role in reducing soil erosion by slowing down the movement of water and decreasing the speed of runoff. This practice helps in preserving soil fertility by safeguarding against the loss of essential nutrients and organic matter in the soil, and it also effectively reduces soil displacement during intense rainfall.
