Yes, there are more than 2,000 distinct soil types on Earth. Soil classification varies widely based on factors such as climate, vegetation, and topography, leading to a diverse range of soil properties and categories. The World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) and the USDA Soil Taxonomy system categorize soils into various groups, reflecting this complexity. Additionally, ongoing research continues to identify and describe new soil types.
What else can I help you with?
What planets have more mass than earth?
Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and all have more mass than Earth.
Why do you weigh more on earth than on Pluto?
You weigh more on Earth than on Pluto because of the difference in gravitational pull between the two. Earth's gravitational force is much stronger than Pluto's, which causes you to weigh more on Earth.
Why does a brick weigh more on earth than it does in space?
More gravity on Earth.
How many minerals known to man are common on the crust of the earth?
My geological dictionary lists more than 7500 entries. Of which more than 10% will be discrete minerals. There is a list of the top 20 by composition, but that is a matter of opinion and location.
Is there more or less gravity on Neptune then on earth?
Neptune has slightly more gravity than Earth. It is believed that the gravity is 17% greater than Earth's.
Do clay soils have more permeability than sandy soils?
No, sandy soils have higher permeability than clay soils. Clay soils have smaller pore spaces which restrict water movement, while sandy soils have larger pore spaces that allow for more rapid water drainage.
Why are soils generally less fertile than clayey soils?
Sandy soils are generally less fertile than clay soils because they do not hold water as well as clay soils. Clay soils are usually fertile and hold more nutrients than sandy soils.
Why are sandy soils generally less fertile than clayey soil?
Sandy soils are generally less fertile than clay soils because they do not hold water as well as clay soils. Clay soils are usually fertile and hold more nutrients than sandy soils.
What soils is the younger the lowland or the upland?
Generally, lowland soils are younger than upland soils due to deposition and erosion processes in low-lying areas. Lowland soils are often formed from recent sediments and are more fertile, while upland soils have had more time to weather and develop, making them older and potentially more nutrient-poor.
Place that's been on fire for more than 2000 years?
Center of the earth? Mercury? The Sun?
How do the soils of the Atlantic coast differ from the soils of the gulf of Mexico?
they differ because the gulfs soil is richer than the Atlantic's.
Why clay soil are fertlie than sandy soil?
Clay soils hold more nutrients, while sandy soils quickly have their nutrients leached by rain.
Do bare soils warm and cool faster than covered soils?
Yes, bare soils tend to warm and cool faster than covered soils. This is because bare soil is directly exposed to sunlight and atmospheric conditions, allowing it to absorb and release heat more quickly. In contrast, covered soils, whether by vegetation, mulch, or other materials, have insulation properties that help moderate temperature fluctuations. This leads to more stable thermal conditions in covered soils compared to their bare counterparts.
What makes some soils more permeable than others?
The permeability of soil is influenced by factors such as soil texture, structure, compaction, and organic matter content. Soils with larger pore spaces, such as sandy soils, tend to be more permeable than soils with smaller pore spaces, like clay soils. Compacted soils have reduced permeability due to decreased pore spaces for water to flow through. Organic matter can improve soil structure and increase permeability by creating aggregates that allow for better water movement.
What is a more accurate approximation of the distance between the Earth and the star Epsilon Aurigae than 2000 ly?
It seems that the distance is currently not known with a greater accuracy than this.
Why does different kinds of soil hold more water?
different soils can drain better than others
Is mercury lager or smaller than earth?
Mercury is more than 2x smaller than Earth.
