What are the four brood processes of soil genesis?

The four brood processes of soil genesis are addition (inputs of materials to the soil), losses (outputs of materials from the soil), transformation (changes in soil material properties), and translocation (movement of materials within the soil profile).


Which layer of soil are the materials leached from horizon A deposited?

Materials leached from horizon A are typically deposited in the B horizon of the soil profile. As water moves through the soil, it carries minerals and nutrients from horizon A and deposits them in the B horizon.


What is the base geological material from which soil is formed?

Soil is formed from the weathering and breakdown of rocks, minerals, and organic matter over time. The base geological materials from which soil is formed are parent materials, which include bedrock, sediments, and other deposits that are subject to weathering processes. These parent materials provide the mineral content and structure for soil formation.


Is soil flammable?

Soil itself is not flammable because it is a mixture of organic and inorganic materials like minerals, water, and organisms. However, soil can contain combustible materials like dead plants, roots, or organic matter that can burn when exposed to a heat source.


What mixes soil?

Soil can be made by combining organic materials such as compost, peat moss, and manure with inorganic materials like sand, silt, and clay. The ratio of these components will depend on the type of plants you plan to grow and the existing soil composition. Mixing these ingredients thoroughly will help create a nutrient-rich soil for optimal plant growth.
