What else can I help you with?
When plants and animals die and decay do they become fertillizers?
decomposers are what breaks down dead plants and animals and cause them to decay quickly
What layer or layers of soil includes rock particles mixed with dark products of decay?
The layer that includes rock particles mixed with dark products of decay is the topsoil layer. Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil that is rich in organic matter and supports plant growth. It is a combination of mineral particles, organic matter, and nutrients that are essential for plant development.
Which change would cause the topsoil an area to increase in thickness?
An increase in vegetation, such as the growth of deeper-rooted plants and trees, can contribute to the thickening of topsoil. These plants enhance soil structure and organic matter through root decay and the accumulation of leaf litter, which enriches the soil. Additionally, reduced erosion due to better ground cover and practices like no-till farming can help retain topsoil, allowing it to build up over time. Lastly, improved soil management practices, like crop rotation and cover cropping, can also lead to thicker topsoil.
Why do plants decay?
when plants die, they go through decomposition. types of decomposers are fungi and bacteria. they help to break dead plants into simpler substances like carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts. that is why plants decay.
in northern forest soil, what is above the topsoil ad how does it form?
In Northern forest soil, Humus is present above topsoil. Humus is a black/brown substance that is formed by the decay of plant and animal matter.
What do dead leaves and plants on the ground form?
They turn into the soil they become part of the ground.
What is decay.?
Decay means to rot or to become decomposed. For example: The tomato started to decay. Hope this helps!!
What is primarily releases in a radioactive decay?
plants and animals die and then decay to release carbon compound in then
What happens to plants shortly after they die?
They Start to Decay
Which layer of earth contains humus?
It's the layer of organic matter in soil. The organic matter largely is built up by the death and decay of organisms that live in soil. Some such organisms include bacteria, beetles, earthworms, and moles.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
Carbon 13 what does it become after decay?
After decay Carbon 13 then will become classified as stable.
