Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is By planting forests. Afforestation is the establishment of forest trees in an area where there were no trees before. Plantation helps prevent soil erosion as the roots of plants and trees hold the soil together and also slow down the movement of runoff water that can erode the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vegetation can slow the impact of erosion. Plant roots adhere to soil and rock particles, preventing their transport during rainfall or wind events. Trees, shrubs, and other plants can even limit the impact of mass wasting events such as landslides and other natural hazards such as hurricanes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover. Mulching. Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain. More items
