79. SOIL EROSION

81. TYPES OF SOIL EROSION

82. WATER EROSION

83. Sheet Erosion The removal of the entire topsoil as a result of heavy rains is called sheet erosion. Rill Erosion Runoff water moves across the soil forming small streams. The topsoil is removed only in these rills formed by the water streams. Riparian Erosion The banks of rivers lose top soil due to the action of the fast moving rivers waters. These waters remove the underlying soil and this results in the loss of topsoil

91. MAN MADE CAUSES

92. DEFORESTATION

93. OVER GRAZING

95. What is soil Conservation ? The prevention of soil erosion and increasing the fertility of the soil……

96. What are the methods of soil conservation ?????

97. Afforestaion When the land is covered with vegetation, the roots of the plants and trees interlock and interlace to bind the soil particles. This helps in two ways: 1.Does not allow the soil particles to be carried away by wind or water 2.Does not allow free flow of water over the soil which prevent erosion of soil by flowing water 3.The falling leaves of the plants get converted to humus by decomposing action of the soil microbes. This enriches the soil.

98. Control of over-grazing

99. The practice of growing different crops at different times on the same land is called crop rotation. This keeps the topsoil covered with vegetation. Rotation of cereal crops with legumes also keeps the soil enriched with nitrogen. Crop Rotation

100. Strip Cropping It involves growing of crops in strips. The most common method followed is the contour farming where the strips of crop are at right angles to the slope. Wind-strip cropping is when the strips of crop are place at right angles to the direction of wind.

101. Terracing Fields are cut at right angles to the slope. This slows down the flowing water and allows it to irrigate the crops, as wells.

102. Dam Building With the dams the speed and amount of water flowing can be controlled. This will control the soil erosion of the river banks.

103. Wind Breakers Trees are planted across the wind direction to protect against the high velocity winds. These rows of trees are called shelter belts or wind breakers .
