Question

Soil degradation is one of the major environmental problems faced being faced these days. A wide range of techniques to conserve soil are mentioned below. Select the INCORRECT option.

• A. Crop Rotation
• B. Terrace farming
• C. Planting Trees
• D. Overgrazing

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Overgrazing

Overgrazing contributes to soil degradation rather than conserving it, as it leads to loss of vegetation and soil erosion. Overgrazing can reduce ground cover, enabling erosion and compaction of the land by wind and rain.. This reduces the ability for plants to grow and water to penetrate, which harms soil microbes and results in serious erosion of the land.
