soil formation occurs when weathered rock and organic matter are mixed together.
What else can I help you with?
What occurs when bacteria break down organic matter and return carbon dioxide and water to the environment?
Decomposition
Occurs when bacteria break down organic matter and return carbon dioxide and water to the environment?
Decomposition
Does erosion have anything to do with the Carbon Cycle?
Erosion indirectly affects the carbon cycle. When erosion occurs, it can transport organic matter, such as decaying plants and animals, to rivers and oceans. This organic matter can then be decomposed by bacteria, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Additionally, erosion can also expose fresh rocks, which can weather and release carbon into the soil and water.
Why does deforestation increase the rate of organic matter decomposition?
This is because when deforestation occurs , the plants breaks down and over this period the plant may gradually develop decomposers such as mushrooms , thus increasing the organic matter in the soil .
How does decomposition release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
During decomposition, microorganisms break down organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This process occurs as the microorganisms feed on the organic material and respire, converting the carbon from the organic matter into carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere.
What do you called decayed substances?
Decayed substances are commonly referred to as decomposed organic matter or simply as decaying matter. Decay occurs when organic material breaks down into simpler compounds through the action of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
If decay of organic matter occurs in an area with little oxygen over time carbon may become?
oil coal and natural gas
When no life exists in an area what type of succession begins?
Primary succession occurs in an area with no soil or organic matter, like an area after a volcanic eruption. Secondary succession occurs where there is already soil.
What kind of weather occurs in Jupiter?
Weather that occurs on Jupiter is basically the same as the weather on Earth
What energy transformation occurs as biomass decays in a compost bin?
The energy transformation that occurs as biomass decays in a compost bin is the conversion of chemical energy stored in the organic matter into heat energy through the process of decomposition. This heat energy contributes to the breakdown of the organic material and the transformation into nutrient-rich compost.
What is the weather in the pond?
Ponds do not have weather in them. Weather occurs around ponds.
What energy is caused by burning organic material?
Burning will usually result in heat and light energy.
