Explanation:

• Crop rotation involves changing the type of crop grown in a field over time to improve soil fertility and reduce pests, not for wind - related soil protection.
• Contour plowing is plowing along the contours of the land to reduce soil erosion by water, not wind.
• Wind breaks are rows of trees or shrubs planted in a linear fashion to slow down the wind, thereby protecting the soil from wind - erosion.
