Characteristics of soil profiles may be closely related to what factor?
climate
What factors in an area help to determine the type of soil and the thickness and composition of the layers?
Climate can affect what type of soil develops in a certain area. For example, Deserts are dry, and the soil contains little organic material. In a temperate forest, the soil is mild and moist. Parent rock, time, and slopes are some of the factors that affect the soil. For example, on steep slopes, soil horizons often are poorly developed.
How do you get the weight of soil in an area?
Estimate the thickness of the soil over the area (test pits will help with this) - measure the average density of the soil (out of the test pits). You then have:- The "area" tiles the "thickness" = the volume of soil. Volume times density = weight.
How does climate affect soil development?
If there is a very cold, dry climate then the soil will not get the nutrients it needs to be heathly. But if the climate is warm and wet then the soil will be rich and full of nutrients.
How do climate and landforms affect the soils characteristics?
The soil that forms in a hot, wet climate is very different from the soil that develops in a cold, dry climate. Climate influences the characteristics of developing soil because the climate influences the weathering of the rock. The four soil types that develop in different climate regions are: tropical, desert, temperate, and arctic.
Why does topsoil differ in thickness in different parts of Canada?
because Canada is covered with wet- climate soil that are prone to leaching.

climate
What is the difference between depth and thickness?
The depth is how deep the soil is and the thickness is the lkayer of the soil that is covered with how much the soil covering it
How does soil temperature influence soil?
it affects the soils thickness
What factors in an area help determine the type of soil --the thickness of the layers and their compositions?
for my opinion the climate,the slope, the amount of rain and humus,and last the length of evolving clock .
