Question

Which of these can be a cause for soil erosion?

A.

Ploughing of steeply sloping land

B.

All of the options

C.

Cutting down trees

D.

Over-grazing of pastures

Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) All of the options.
· Soil erosion can be caused by various factors, including:
· Ploughing of steeply sloping land: This increases the risk of soil being washed away by rainwater.
· Cutting down trees: Deforestation removes the protective cover of trees, making the soil more vulnerable to erosion by wind and water.
· Over-grazing of pastures: When animals over-graze, the vegetation cover is reduced, leading to soil compaction and increased erosion.
