What is Soil? Soil is the surface of the earth’s crust where plants have their roots and where many small animals make their home. It is also a result of the breakdown of rocks. Formation of Soil Soil is formed when rocks break down into very small particles by various processes such as weathering. There are two types of weathering: Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering. Physical Weathering arises from the heating and cooling‚ the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and

The soil is an important part of the landscape and contributes to determine the way in which natural vegetation‚ crops and human settlements are distributed on the territory. But the importance of the soil is mainly related to its double role as a reserve of nutritional elements and water and mechanical support (how would plants be able to stand upright if they did not have the soil to put their roots in?) for vegetation‚ leading to the creation of forests and protected areas. A direct observation

Q1. You are asked to create soil that would be considered very fertile. What would you include in your "recipe?" I would try to create a soil order all of my own‚ combining Inceptisols and Mollisols unique characteristics. My terrain for my soil to be placed would be on a mostly flat to gently sloping surface to provide good drainage‚ minimum erosion‚ and sufficient time for nutrients to drain into the soil. My “O” soil horizon will be mostly compost made from fallen leaves and other organic

All these religions have different stories about how the earth came about and how life was created‚ but science has been the only source for proof of how the earth and everything on it was created.
