Detailed Solution

Terrace cultivation is practised in Uttrakhand. Uttarakhand has a hilly topography. Both soil production and erosion co-occur, and occasionally there will be a balance between the two. Natural factors like water, wind, and glaciers naturally cause soil erosion. However, improper ploughing causes channels to be formed, which causes water to flow quickly and ultimately causes soil erosion. Soil erosion is also a result of poor farming practices. In the Central and Western Himalayas, terrace farming is well-developed. In steep places, terrace cultivation is used to stop soil erosion. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana have flat topographies.
