Answer to Question 1

Student responses will vary. You might expect to see such locations as road banks, banks at construction sites, or
even steep fields

Answer to Question 2

Concrete, retention walls, matting, mulch, wooden strips, and other temporary or permanent mechanical devices
can be used to protect graded banks. If the materials are temporary, they should last until permanent plant cover
is established.
