The rain washes away much of the topsoil. This runoff builds up in rivers and river deltas as silt. And is usually very fertile.
It can take anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand years for topsoil to increase by just one inch, depending on factors such as climate, vegetation, and soil formation processes. The rate of topsoil formation is typically very slow due to the slow decomposition of organic matter and weathering of parent material.
Yes, you can add a layer of topsoil to an existing lawn before planting flowers. Be sure to spread it evenly and not too thick to avoid suffocating the existing grass. After adding topsoil, you can plant flowers directly into the soil as long as they receive adequate sunlight and water.
No, climates do not change in a hurricane. The climate is the long-term average weather pattern over many years. A hurricane lasts only a few days.
Yes, polar climates are characterized by consistently low temperatures throughout the year, with long, harsh winters and short, cool summers. These regions typically receive little precipitation, resulting in limited vegetation, primarily consisting of mosses, lichens, and low shrubs. The extreme conditions hinder the growth of most plant species, leading to sparse and specialized ecosystems.
In general, the climatic zone is determined by the latitude. The rule is that the farthest you go from the equator (the largest the latitude) the colder it gets. The rainfall near the equator is largest. In the subtropical zones the rainfall is smaller. In the intermediate zones the rainfall is large again. Please see the links for more details.
Not necessarily. Heavy rainfall can lead to erosion, which may strip away topsoil if not managed properly. However, other factors such as the type of vegetation, geology, and human activity also play a significant role in determining the thickness of the topsoil in an area with year-long heavy rain.
Yes as long as the checks aren't to heavy to lift.
hundreds of years
Topsoil, if left in the air will dry out a bit. However, if you keep it sealed it won't be a problem. anonymous@oola.com
People in hot climates do not automatically have long hair. This is simply and untrue statement.
The loss of topsoil threatens agribusiness because topsoil is where plants obtain essential nutrients for growth. Without healthy topsoil, crop yields decrease and farmers may need to invest more in fertilizers and other inputs to compensate, leading to higher production costs. In the long run, the degradation of topsoil can reduce the productivity and profitability of agriculture.

That's a 4 year degree but if you load up heavy on classes maybe 2.5
Topsoil naturally builds up over long periods, but can be blown or washed away. Areas with deeper topsoil are not subject to these types of erosion, and may have a very long history of vegetation (such as centuries of forest cover) which has caused the buildup, or be in an area that catches a lot of wind or water borne soil.
No.
