 Erosion caused by wind lead to formation of ______________.

  1. Mushroom rocks

  2. Deflation hollows

  3. Yardangs

D Correct answer
Explanation

Wind carries small sand particles, small pebbles, etc. along with it. These particles cause erosion along rocks coming in the way due to friction. This leads to formation of mushroom rocks, deflation hollows, yardangs, etc.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Chernozems are known as the richest soils (3), Black soil is rich in calcium carbonate (1), Laterite contains aluminium compounds (2), Terra Rosa is formed in limestone (4), and Alluvial soil is a mixture of clay, sand, and silt (5).

Soil can be conserved in a best on the hills by which of the cultivating methods?

  1. Strip cropping

  2. Crop rotation

  3. Contour ploughing

  4. Terracing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes. This is called contour ploughing. This is the best method to reduce the soil erosion in the hilly areas.

On the basis of the process of their formation, which of the following soils is formed differently from the other three?

  1. Khadar

  2. Bangar

  3. Bhabar

  4. Regur
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Khadar, Bangar, and Bhabar are all types of alluvial soils classified by their age and location in river plains. Regur (Black soil) is formed from volcanic rock, making its formation process distinct.

Which of the following is/are methods of checking soil erosion?
$1$. Strip cropping
$2$. Contour ploughing
$3$. Use of irrigation and fertilisers
$4$. Terrace farming.

  1. $1$ and $2$
  2. $3$ and $4$
  3. $2, 3$ and $4$
  4. $1, 2, $ and $4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes. This is called contour ploughing. 
  • Steps can be cut out on the slopes making terraces. Terrace cultivation restricts erosion. 
  • Large fields can be divided into strips. Strips of grass are left to grow between the crops. This breaks up the force of the wind. This method is known as strip cropping. Strip cropping method reduce the soil erosion
