“Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: “with no movement”, and thus should not be confused with erosion, which in...
Examples of biological weathering include plant roots penetrating the soil or animals burrowing underground; this action creates a humid chemical microenvironment which accelerates chemical and physical weathering processes. Biological weathering also plays a role in Black and Brown communities, where stressor...
Soil is formed by a combination of factors like climate, weathering a parent rocks, living organisms over a period of time. Soil has six layers. Although many of us live in a concrete jungle in the modern age, we still haven’t reached a generation that doesn’t know what soil is! Tha...
(一)Soil What Is Soil?Soil is the loose top layer of Earth's surface.Plants depend on soil. It holds them up. It provides them with food and water.Soil is made of particles(颗粒). These very small pieces mostly come from rocks broken down by weathering. 1 The part of soil that ...
And just as some rocks are more resistant than others to weathering, the compounds found in the soil's organic input resist mineralization at different rates. The compound cellulose is the major constituent of most plant tissue. It mineralizes relatively quickly. ...

Soil erosion is the removal of the top layer of the soil due to some physical forces. Explore the causes, effects and prevention of soil erosion.
How did weathering and erosion form the Grand Canyon? What is the primary cause of soil erosion? What changes might occur in the hydrologic cycle? What are the fluxes in the hydrologic cycle? What is meant by geologic cycle? How do glaciers cause erosion?
