Soil is made up of a mixture of decayed organic material, living organisms, and minerals. The organic materials come from dead plants like banana peels and last year's leaves. The living organisms range in size from moles to microscopic bacteria. The minerals come from the rocks underground, which are classified as bedrock.
Soil is made up of many layers. This is because plants grow on top of the soil and rocks are found underground. The type of soil that forms in a region will depend upon the climate, the bedrock underground, or the plants growing there. Although all soils are made of these basic ingredients, there are many variations. In forests for example, the soil may be deep, rich, and may have a dark brown color. In sandy areas the soil will be dry with a dusty gray color. In tropical regions the soil is often very deep and bright red.

What else can I help you with?
Which animals are saprophages?
Animals that are saprophages feed on decaying organic matter, such as dead plants and animals. Some examples include scavenger animals like vultures, beetles, and certain species of flies. These animals play a vital role in breaking down and recycling organic material in ecosystems.
What do you call the organisms that act on dead plants and animals?
Oh, dude, those are decomposers. They're like the cleanup crew of the natural world, breaking down all the dead stuff and turning it into nutrients for the soil. So, next time you see a decomposer at work, just give 'em a little nod of appreciation for their hard work.
How are the remains of dead plants and animals helpful to producers?
Dead plants and animals are helpful because when they decompose, the bacteria help release certain nutrients into the ground that plants thrive on. Sort of like if one plant releases nitrogen into the soil and then is planted next to a plant that thrives on it.
What do decomposers eat?
Decomposers eat dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, releasing nutrients back into the environment for other organisms to use.
What are plant and animal remains and other dead matter collectively called?
Plant and animal remains, along with other dead matter, are collectively called organic material or organic matter. This material decomposes and breaks down over time into simpler compounds, enriching the soil with nutrients for new plant growth.
What type of rock forms when material from dead plants and animals is deposited and harden into rocks?
Organic sedimentary rock forms when material from dead plants and animals (organic matter) gets deposited and hardens into rocks over time. Examples include coal and some types of limestone.
Which of the following is composed of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material from dead plants and animals?
The answer is Soil!
What type of rocks forms when materials from dead plants and animals is deposited and hardens into rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
How are clastic rocks and organic rocks similar?
Clastic: These rocks are composed predominantly of broken pieces of older weathered and eroded rocksNon-clastic/ Organic: A sedimentary rock composed of the remains of plants and animals.just figure it out!
Is humus a mixture of humus and clay?
No, Humus is made from dead organic plants and animals.
What is in organic soil layers?
Dead and decayed remains of plants and animals, called Humus.
What is weathered rock and decomposed organic material from dead plants and animals?
soil ~XDDXDD~
What soil made from?
there are rocks little ones a materials and made from dead plants and animals.
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
What is soil made from?
It is made from dead plants and animals with minerals and broken rocksNOT SOIL CLUMPS
Does coke have coal in it?
