What happen if you have?
Scurvy is vitamin c deficiency. Ascorbic acid is important to the formation of collagen. Symptoms or characteristics of scurvy are gum bleeding, soreness or stiffness of the joints and lower extremities and also slow healing of wound.
Why is your Nissan primastar slow to start and slow to rev up when cold?
slow to start from cold and starts when warm
Does a frog have a slow heart beat?
i think it does have a slow heart beat!
Why does salt slow evaporation?
The evaporation of water is slow when water is dissolved in salt. This is because of the salt molecules, the salt molecules is the reason for the slow evaporation.
Do you accept slow learners?
Yes, i would accept slow learners because every one has their own pace of learning. For example, some people are slow at developing learning skills. so yes i would accept slow learners.
How are seismic waves changed as they pass soft soils?
When the waves pass through soft soils (sediments) they slow down and amplify.

Six soil layers from top to bottom?
OrdersOrders are the highest category of soil classification. Order types end in the letters sol. In the US classification system, there are 10 orders:[24] Entisol - recently formed soils that lack well-developed horizons. Commonly found on unconsolidated sediments like sand, some have an A horizon on top of bedrock.Vertisol - inverted soils. They tend to swell when wet and shrink upon drying, often forming deep cracks that surface layers can fall into.Inceptisol - young soils. They have subsurface horizon formation but show little eluviation and illuviation.Aridisol - dry soils forming under desert conditions. They include nearly 20% of soils on Earth. Soil formation is slow, and accumulated organic matter is scarce. They may have subsurface zones (calcic horizons) where calcium carbonates have accumulated from percolating water. Many aridiso soils have well-developed Bt horizons showing clay movement from past periods of greater moisture.Mollisol - soft soils with very thick A horizons.Spodosol - soils produced by podsolization. They are typical soils of coniferous and deciduous forests in cooler climates.Alfisol - soils with aluminum and iron. They have horizons of clay accumulation, and form where there is enough moisture and warmth for at least three months of plant growth.Ultisol - soils that are heavily leached.Oxisol - soil with heavy oxide content.Histosol - organic soils.Other order schemes may include:Andisols - volcanic soils, which tend to be high in glass content.Gelisols - permafrost soils.
Why are deserts soil low in organic matter?
There is very little topsoil in deserts; in fact, one millimeter of topsoil can take hundreds of years to form in a desert. The plant life in deserts evolved through selection to be less reliant on water and are therefore very slow to grow. Little plant life, little decay due to low moisture, and extremely slow growth rates could account for the low content of organic matter in desert soils.
What Type of standing water habitat in which soils is acidic and decay is slow is called?
A Bog.

Why is the desert an area of slow weathering?
The greatest agent of erosion is water which is rare in the desert except during the brief rainy season. Therefore, water erosion in the desert is much slower than in areas with more rainfall.
What is difference between landslide and creep?
Mass movement is a fast process in the formation of landslides.Mass movement is a slow process in the formation of creep.

How do you fertilise sandy soil?
You should either fertilize sandy soils with slow release fertilizers, like organic fertilizers, or add nutrients slowly with irrigation water. Sandy soils have less ability to hold nutrients than other soils, and soluble nutrients can leach out very quickly.
