Everything affects magnetism, simply because all things have magnetic properties (which are a product of atomic motion). But yes soil contains iron, and often in a highly magnetic form, magnetite or maghaemite or magnetic iron sulphide (you don't need much of either to make an appreciable contribution- try just running a magnet over some dry soil, or mixing soil with water in a glass jar, and tape a magnet to the outside). The principle way in which soil 'affects magnetism' is via its effect on the Earth's geomagnetic field, that's how geophysicists find buried archaeological sites using magnetometers. That is where people lived in the past, or dug holes, or lit fires they often leave magnetic 'evidence'. To follow up the topic further you need to look up 'magnetic susceptibility' which will explain the magnetic properties of material, i.e. how magnetic (or not) they are). As a guide air is '0' on the SI scale water slightly negative (diamagnetic), a typical soil may be in the tens, or even hundreds, especially if was formed from igneous rock, or has been burnt. Any it's a huge topic, good luck!
What else can I help you with?
How grazing affect the texture of soil?
Grazing can compact soil, reducing pore space and leading to increased soil density. This compaction can result in diminished soil aeration and water infiltration, which can affect root growth and overall soil health.
What is a testable question for magnetism?
How does the strength of a magnet affect its ability to attract other objects from varying distances?
How does precipitation affect soil formation?
Precipitation influences soil formation by introducing water that carries nutrients and minerals to the soil. Heavy rainfall can leach minerals from the soil, leading to changes in soil composition and fertility. Additionally, precipitation can cause erosion, which can affect soil structure and nutrient content.
Does the air temperature affect soil temperature?
Yes, air temperature can affect soil temperature. Warmer air temperatures can cause the soil to warm up, while cooler air temperatures can cause the soil to cool down. However, the degree to which air temperature affects soil temperature can be influenced by factors such as the depth of the soil, soil moisture content, and the type of soil.
What physical and biochemical conditions of a soil affect density?
Physical conditions such as soil structure, compaction, and moisture content can affect soil density by influencing the arrangement of soil particles. Biochemical conditions related to the presence of organic matter can also impact soil density by affecting the overall soil structure and particle interactions. Overall, factors that affect soil aggregation and compaction will tend to influence soil density.
Do warm temperatures affect magnets?
They affect the magnetism so yes
Does magnetism affect seed germination?
yes
Does weight affect soil absorbancy?
Weight does not affect soil absorbency.
Does soil formation affect the fertility of soil?
No, soil formation doesn't affect the fertility of soil but soil looses its fertility by being exhausted.
How does the presence of the humus affect soil?
how does the presence of humus affect soil
How does soil affect people?
in soil
Does color affect magnetic force?
Color does not affect magnetic force. But as magnet gets heated it loses magnetism
Does magnetism affect everything?
Well not every thing but most things including plants.
How can soil affect the soil?
poor soil means no. of voids more and soil does not hold nuritent the seepage loose more.it also affect crop yield
How does soil pH affect soil fertility?
soil fertility increases soil PH
How does fertile soil affect migration?
red soil
In what way does the temperature of soil affect the temperature of soil?
If the soil is hot heat rises and the air near and around the soil will rise to affect the other particiles of air.
