a technique where farmers plow with the curve of the land insted of in straight lines
It is also called Contour plowing its when you plow on a curve of a hill to prevent runoff

Contour plowing and terracing?
Contour plowing is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. On sloped land, contour plowing is done such that rows are side by side but each row follows a path such that every point on it is at the same elevation. So, for example, to plow a round hillock you would plow concentric circles around the hill top to bottom. The resultant furrow lines look just like the contour lines on a contour map. With this plowing method the rows hold water instead of draining it downward and becoming eroded.
What is always true according to the law of conservation?
There is no one "law of conservation", there are several laws, such as conservation of energy, conservation of mass, conservation of electric charge, conservation of rotational momentum, etc.What is always true is that there is SOME quantity that doesn't change in the case of a closed system.
How do you write and exclamatory sentence with the word conservation?
I was shocked, wow what a Conservation! Conservation escalated very quickly.
Is conservation a good or bad thing?
Conservation is a good thing.
What type of plowing can be done to prevent erosion?
conservation plowing
What are two types of plowing?
Contour plowing and conservation plowing
What are some types of soil conservation?
There are three types of soil conservation: countour plowing, conservation plowing, and crop rotation.
Difference between contour plowing and conservation plowing?
Contour Plowing is when you plow, like, a garden for example, but instead of plowing in straight lines, you go in curvy lines (you know what I mean, right?) Conservation Plowing, however, is like the normal plowing way. Straight lines, blablabla.

How does conservation plowing help with soil conservation?
it helps because you create a hill to protect the plants
Which soil conservation techniques prevents erosion?
contour plowing
How do conservation and plowing and crop rotation contribute to soil conservation?
Proper plowing helps prevent soil erosion, and rotating crops helps keep the soil from becoming depleted in specific nutrients.
