Answer to Question 1

Soil erosion is part of the problem, but other important factors include urbanization and conversion to
other uses. Urbanization has taken some of the best soil in the U.S. out of production and is likely to
continue to do so



Answer to Question 2

It prevents the negative effects of runoff, such as rill and sheet erosion. Both soil and water are
conserved

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
