Rocks and soil are poor heat sinks because the materials they are composed of have only moderate specific thermal capacity and low thermal conductivity. However there is a lot of tonnage out there and heat pumps can be made to extract heat from the soil, but per ton these materials have less heat than water for example.

Severe precipitation events lead to soil erosion. This, in turn, causes soils to leak into nearby water bodies, becoming useless for crop growth support. Extreme heat boosts the rate of organic matter’s decomposition in soil, which then maximizes the amount of CO2 discharged into the atmosphere.

What are three weathering forces that help change rocks into soil?
Wind, rain, heat
How does limestone neutralise the soil?
it sinks in
How are rocks changed into soil?
rocks are chaged to soil by earths layering
What are your rocks and soil heated by?
Rocks and soil are heated by two things, atoms and molecules. when they get heated they vibrate and sends heat to other atoms or molecules in the same substance until the whole thing is heated. The energy comes from the sun, but the atoms and molecules really heat them.
Water that sinks into soil?
Is called "ground water".
What is a desert mainly made up of?
Rocks,soil,heat
How do humans benefit from the stage of the water cycle when water on the surface sinks deep from the ground?
The water is cleaned as it is filtered through rocks and soil.

What are 2 carbon sinks?
The ocean and soil
What is an abiotic factor in the environment?
rocks, dirt, soil, sunlight, heat, water, temperature are some abiotic factors.
What are the tundra's limiting factors?
Lack of heat, limited sunlight, poor soil, minimal animal resources.
How do minerals enter the soil by rocks?
The minerals get into the soil by erosion of the rocks.
Water that sinks into soil?
Is called "ground water".
