The four main components of soil are organic materials, air, water, and inorganic materials.
basic
yes or no
Because they consist of various kind of materials. These materials are minerals for soil and gases for air.
Soil becomes too acidic when there is an excess of acid-forming elements like hydrogen and aluminum, or when basic nutrients such as calcium and magnesium are leached away. Acid rain, intensive use of chemical fertilizers, and certain plant materials breaking down in the soil can also contribute to soil acidity.
The pH value of a soil is influenced by the kinds of parent materials from which the soil was formed. Soils formed from basic rocks have a higher pH than soil formed from acidic rocks. Water passing through soil leach nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are replaced by acidic elements such as aluminum and iron. Therefore soil that is formed under high rainfall are more acidic than soil that is formed under arid conditions.
Yes soil does have different materials in it.
