1 answer

The flat steps created on the sides of hills for agricultural purposes are an example of terracing. Terracing is a method of soil conservation used in hilly or mountainous areas, where the land is shaped into a series of step-like flat areas. This practice helps to reduce soil erosion, manage water runoff, and create more arable land for farming by making it easier to cultivate crops on difficult terrain.
