Accepted Answer

Heavy rainfalls result in the removal of topsoil. This has a worse effect in hilly regions.

Loam is a type of soil. It can hold moisture and is rich in nutrients. It has good qualities of both sandy and clayey soil.

Terrace farming is a very efficient method of soil conservation, especially in hilly regions. In this, a landmass is given a stepped appearance in which plants are grown. This slows the washing down of soil.

Earthworms are very helpful to the soil. They bury in soil, turn it and so make it lose. Not only this, but their movement also helps to bring the nutrients that are present deeper in the soil to the surface. This improves the fertility of the soil and helps in plant growth. So they are called a farmer’s friend.
