Solution(By Examveda Team)
The plantation in a huge manner to prevent soil erosion is called Shelter Belts. Plantation of protective belts of trees around a farmland prevents the action of external agents such as running water and wind on soil. Shelterbelt trees help to reduce soil erosion by protecting against wind and the elements and reducing the impact that severe weather has on the soil by providing much needed shelter. Shelterbelts can also provide protection to the shoreline by protecting against the impact of salt carried by the wind.Related Questions on Agriculture and Soil in Indian Geography
