What is contour farming?
This is the name of the scale that measures the strength of acids and bases.
This is a mixture of weathered rock, decayed organic matter, mineral fragments, water, and air.
This is the horizon that contains the most organic material.
This is the dark colored material that comes from the decayed organic material.
These are three ways in which clearing vegetation can lead to erosion.
This is the soil horizon that is most similar to the parent bedrock.
Rocks that have smaller amounts of this experience accelerated weathering due to the exposure to water and oxygen.
When vegetation is cleared, this can occur to soil.
These three things add organic matter to soil.
This process allows farmers to grow crops on very steep hills and mountains.
This is the process by which dissolved minerals seep into horizon B from horizon A.
This is the process involves reactions that dissolve or alter the minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals.
These are the five factors that affect soil formation.
These two types of acids weaken rand weather rocks by dissolving minerals in the rocks.
This is a type of mechanical weathering where water enters cracks in rocks and freezes putting pressure on the rock that can cause it to break apart.
This is the soil horizon that contains the litter including leaves, twigs, and other organic material.
This process slows the flow of water down slopes and prevents gullys.
These two organisms can cause cracks in rocks due to root growth or burrowing.
This type of chamical weathering occurs when materials are exposed to oxygen and water.
These 3 terms are used to describe specific particle sizes of weathered rock and are also referred to as sediment.
This is the name of the soil type in Murphysboro.
This is the horizon that is darkest in color
This is a process in which plant stalks are left in the field and the soil is not plowed.
This is the process by which rocks are broken apart by physical processes.
This affects the soil temperature and moisture and also affects the rate of mechanical and chemical weathering.
