    Soil erosion on hill slopes can be checked by

    A)  Afforestation  

    B)  Terrace cultivation

    C)  Contour ploughing

    D)  All of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Contour ploughing and terrace farming can  help checking soil erosion on hill slopes (Geography, Surender Singh, TMH).

A terrace is an embankment of ridge of earth constructed across the slope to control run off and to minimize soil erosion
