Question

State whether the following statement is true or false. If false, give the correct statement.

Forests protect the soil from erosion

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is True.

Explanation:

Forests play a vital role in protecting the soil from erosion. The roots of trees and plants bind the soil together, preventing it from being washed away by wind and water. Additionally, the forest floor’s leaf litter and other organic matter act as a natural barrier, reducing the impact of rainfall on the soil and preventing erosion.
