Which of the following statements are correct statements? (a) Masonry check dams are used for controlling gully erosion and water harvesting. (b) soil cloudiness, surface roughness, roughness, soil curst and soil moisture are the main factors affecting water erosion. (c) In Agronomic measures water erosion is controlled by appropriate crops and cropping systems. (d) Stubble mulching and minimum tillage be practiced to minimise wind erosion.
Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following question.  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all land forms. It refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by natural physical forces of water and wind. Topsoil, which is high in organic matter, fertility and soil life, majorly contributes to the growth of crops. Soil erosion reduces cropland productivity and causes the pollution of watercourses, weltlands and lakes. Which of the following options does NOT show steps taken to prevent soil erosion?
Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. Roots of grasses are an excellent binding material and keep the soil intact
2. Disruption of the grass cover by the plough loosens the soil and makes it vulnerable to removal by the force of rain or strong winds
3. Tilling or grazing on slopes or semi-arid soils decreases the rate of soil erosion
4. Soil erosion is especially high in Nepal, India, China, Australia, Spain, USSR, USA and Central Africa
Consider the following statements with reference to the Gobi desert: 1. The Gobi desert stretches across huge portions of both Mongolia and China. 2. The Gobi desert is the largest desert in Asia. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Soil erosion has affected large tracts of our country. Which is a state with the largest area under soil erosion?
Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. Control of land loss can be attempted through restoring forest and grass cover to check erosion and floods
2. Shifting cultivation can be replaced by crop rotation, mixed cropping or developing piantation crops which would improve fertility and support a large population
3. Salinity can be prevented by covering the area with appropriate plant species and by raising trees as wind breaks
4. Shifting sand can be controlled by mulching
Consider the following statements. 1. Soil erosion increases with a decrease in vegetation cover. 2. Only anthropogenic sources are responsible for soil erosion. Which of the following is/are correct?
Consider the following statements ; Soil erosion is the lowest in clean-tilled lands/orchards as compared to forests. Soil erosion occurs only due to anthropogenic factors. Which of the following is/are correct?
