What horizon do tropical soils have?
All these soil types have a surface layer or the A horizon. These soils also have subsoils or a Bt horizon, parent material that is A C horizon, and bedrock or the R horizon.
What is the difference between soil and parent rock?
All soils come from a parent rock. The parent rock is broken down due to weathering, will eventually after many years will become a fine crumbly soil. Different parent rocks produce different soils.
How does climate affect soil?
soil characteristics develop as a result of their oriqin and development soils beqins as a particular rock material and develops slowly over many years, each soil is a product of a combination of: parent material, climate. livinq orqanisms, topoqraphy and time.
Soils in what area contain little organic material and are thin?
deserts
Are the soils in deserts rich in minerals but poor in organic material?
yes, this is true
What is the parent material off all soils?
rockby karan jain
What is parent bedrock?
Parent bedrock is an underlying geological material that soil horizons from. Soils inherit a good deal of minerals from the parent materials.
What factors might cause different soils to develop from the same parent material or similar soils to form from different parent materials?
Time, plants and animals, topography, and climate are the four general factors.
What horizon do tropical soils have?
All these soil types have a surface layer or the A horizon. These soils also have subsoils or a Bt horizon, parent material that is A C horizon, and bedrock or the R horizon.
What factors might cause different soils to develop from the same parent material?
read the earth science eighth edition book by tarbuck lutgens
How do soils sustain life?
Soils sustain life by using organic material for nutreints.
Why are desert soils so low in organic matter?
Soils get their organic material from the plants that live, or have lived, in them. Deserts have few plants to provide this material.
What is the difference between soil and parent rock?
All soils come from a parent rock. The parent rock is broken down due to weathering, will eventually after many years will become a fine crumbly soil. Different parent rocks produce different soils.
What are the types of soil found in Nepal?
The soils of Nepal are highly variable and are derived mainly from young parent material Soils have been classified on the basis of soil texture, mode of transportation, and color, and are broadly divided into:-Alluvial soilSandy and alluvial soilGravelly soilResidualGlacial soil
