What did the soil conservation act of 1935 call for? a. land-use practices that would reduce erosion b. national soil- and water-conservation program c. national air-quality standards d. water-quality standards to reduce water contamination

A. Land-use practices that would reduce erosion

Explanation:

The Soil conservation act is a United States federal law that allowed the government to pay farmers to reduce production so as to conserve soil and prevent erosion.

Option (A)

Explanation:

The Soil Conservation Act of 1935 was introduced on the 27th of April in the year 1935. This law is forwarded in order to protect the land resources from getting eroded and also for some other purposes. This act was introduced after the occurrence of severe drought in the Great Plains.

The soil erosion usually takes place due to the deforestation, overgrazing of animals, mining process, surface runoff and many more. These are mostly caused due to human activities.

So, in order to reduce this soil erosion, different types of land use practice must be done such as afforestation, improving the drainage system and crop rotation process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
