What effect does climate have on the formation of humus?
Climate influences the rate of decomposition of organic matter, which is a key factor in the formation of humus. Warmer and wetter climates typically promote faster decomposition, leading to quicker turnover of organic matter into humus. In contrast, colder or drier climates may slow down decomposition and the formation of humus.
Is sandy soil better than humus for plants?
in GENERAL a humus rich soil is better for plant growth, but it is dependant on the type of plant - e.g. plants that grow at the coast are at home in very sandy soils.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
After a rock breaks down the materials that are left combine with organic materials to form?
Soil is produced when organic materials (humus, compost, leaf-mould, etc) is added to the fine-grained debris of rock erosion.
What is a type of decayed plant?
A type of decayed plant is known as humus. It forms from the decomposition of organic matter, such as leaves, dead plants, and other plant materials, and is rich in nutrients. Humus plays a crucial role in soil health, improving its structure, water retention, and fertility, which supports plant growth.

Humus.
What is the layer of soil that contains the most humus and smaller rock?
The layer that contains the most humus and smaller rocks is the topsoil layer. Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil that is rich in organic matter, such as humus, and contains smaller rock particles that have undergone weathering. It is the most fertile layer of soil and is crucial for plant growth.
What kinds of soil contains humus?
All soil contains some humus. If it doesn't it is not soil.
Where is humus is located?
Humus is located in the top layer of soil. It is a type of organic soil matter and aids in nutrition retention in the soil.
