    CAUSES:

    2.deforestation

    3. heavy rainfall

    4. heavy grazing reduces vegetation so the top soil becomes

    lose and erodes off

    MEASURES:

    1.NO-TILL FARMING is considered a kind of conservation tillage system and is sometimes called zero tillage. It is a way of growing crops from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage.

    2. TERRACING :affected land is formed into multiple terraces, giving a stepped appearance.

    3. CONTOUR FARMING is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its contours. The rows formed have the effect of slowing water run-off during rainstorms so that the soil is not washed away and allows the water to percolate into the soil.

    4. REFORESTATION


  2. All of India!

    Running water and  wind are always the main causes.

    Contour ploughing, wind breaks, planting soil binding plants, getting rid of herbivorous pests. to name a few.
