Question

Human activity accelerates erosion to 10 to 15 times its natural rate. What are some practices that humans can adopt to slow down erosion?

Answer 1

Since human activities like agricultural cultivation, overgrazing, urban sprawl, and deforestation accelerate the natural erosion process, limiting these activities should slow down the erosion process. Alternatives include new planting techniques, limits on deforestation, government protection of vulnerable land (e.g. declaring certain regions as nature preserves, national parks, or protected land to limit development), and the expansion of the endangered species list to protect biodiversity.

Answer 2

One thing can be plant more trees. When trees grow and their roots grow, their roots go deep into the ground and keep the ground together. The more trees there are the less the land will erode, and this includes all types of erosion, wind, water, you name it. Or they can just simply stop doing what they're doing and let nature take its course.
