Questions: This type of farming protects the soil from erosion by plowing perpendicular to the slope, following the contours of the land instead of up and down hills along the slope of the land, which can prevent the formation of gullies.

Solution

The answer is the second one: Contour farming.

Explanation for each option:

Shelterbelts: This involves planting rows of trees or shrubs to protect fields from wind erosion, not specifically related to plowing techniques.
Contour farming: This method involves plowing along the contours of the land, perpendicular to the slope, which helps prevent soil erosion and the formation of gullies. This matches the description in the question.
Terracing: This involves creating stepped levels on a slope to reduce erosion and runoff, but it is not specifically about plowing perpendicular to the slope.
No-till farming: This method avoids plowing altogether to maintain soil structure and reduce erosion, but it does not involve plowing along contours.
Intercropping: This involves growing two or more crops in proximity, which can help with pest control and soil management, but it is not related to plowing techniques.
