Answer 1

Shelter belts refers to the planting of trees in rows to break the force of the wind to reduce soil erosion.

Explanation:

Shelter belts reduce soil erosion by forming dense, living walls of trees and shrubs that serve as physical windbreaks along agricultural boundaries. These vegetation barriers successfully disrupt and absorb the kinetic energy of strong winds, preventing dry, loose topsoil from being lifted and carried away.
