Question

*
grazing the same type of animal on the land for many years
overgrazing of livestock
grazing more than one type of animal on the land
allowing fields to remain empty and unused

Answer 1

The practice that contributes to soil erosion is overgrazing of livestock. When livestock overgraze, it removes too much of the grass cover, leading to soil exposure and erosion. This can disturb the soil structure and lead to desertification over time.
