Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The growing of crops on steps on the slopes of hills and mountains is called terrace farming. These steps called terraces are built to help slow down the flow of rain water in the mountains thus helping distributing the nutrients of the soil across the plants grown in each step.
Detailed explanation-2: -Terraces are built on steep slopes to create flat surfaces on which crops are grown. They are built to prevent soil erosion.
