Covering surface, planting trees, etc. are some methods

Explanation:

If you stop interaction mechanisms between soil and weathering agents, you can minimize weathering. Some solutions for this can be listed as:

  • Cover soil/rock surface
  • Add weathering minimization agents to soil/rock
  • Try to minimize temperature changes (freezing and thawing, for instance) by some engineering methods.

To minimize erosion, you can plant trees and plants, you can do some earthwork to minimize slopes, you can cover surface, etc.

In terms of wind erosion, you can construct fences to battle against wind erosion.
