KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Trees and woody vegetation do good things for agricultural land. They reduce soil erosion and provide habitat for pollinators.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil erosion is the washing away of soil by wind or water. The roots of a plant hold the soil firmly. Because of this, soil cannot easily be washed or blown away. So, plants prevent soil erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major causes of soil erosion are namely, deforestation, overgrazing, forest fires and poor farming techniques. Hence the statement is correct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trees have thick root systems that branch into fine filaments and create a network. This network of root systems help stabilize the soil around the tree and hold it in place. Trees also reduce run-off of nutrients and soil sediment in-stream. Tree roots also improve the drainage of the soil.
