Final Answer:
i. Topsoil
ii. Weathering
iii. Soil erosion
iv. Soil conservation
v. Terrace farming
vi. Deforestation
vii. Afforestation
viii. Bunds
A. Bunds – Small walls or ridges built along the edges of fields to hold water and prevent soil from washing away.
B. Soil erosion – When wind or water carries away the top layer of soil, making land less fertile.
C. Soil conservation – Methods used to protect soil from being washed or blown away.
D. Afforestation – Planting trees in an area where there were no trees before.
E. Terrace farming – Making step-like flat areas on hillsides to grow crops and stop soil from sliding down.
