Extractions: Movie Gallery BACK TO NPARL CLICK HERE... Soil, is made from rocks that break apart or wear away over many years. This is referred to as weathering. It may take 100 to 1,000 years for 1 cm of soil to form through weathering. Soil also contains air, water, and humus, the decayed remains of dead animals and plants. Soil can actually be separated into 5 main parts. They are: Humus: A dark, moist soil composed of bits of dead, rotting insects, animals, leaves, roots, sticks, and food. Humus adds nutrients to the soil which plants need to grow and live. Clay: A soil that holds water. When wet, clay feels slippery and slimy. It is made of particles that are smaller than 0.004 millimeters. Silt: Soil that looks like fine grains or tiny pieces of rock. Particles classified as silt measure from 0.004 millimeters to 0.006 millimeters. Sand: Soil that is coarse and drains quickly. Sand particles measure from about 0.006 millimeters to 2.00 millimeters.

S oil !!! Some call it dirt. But it is..... S oil !!! The essence of our being. The medium in which crops are grown to feed humans, as well as animals. One of our natural resources ( soil, water, air, plant, animal Soil by volume, on the average consists of mineral, water, air and organic matter (both living and dead organisms). There are thousands of different soils throughout the world. Five important factors influences the specific soil that develops. Parent Material Minerals and organic materials present during it's formation. Materials from volcanos, sediment transported by wind, water or glaciers or minerals left behind by drying lakes are good examples of parent materials. Climate Parent material is broken down into smaller pieces by a process called weathering. Cycles of freezing and thawing, wetting and drying, and the frequency of these occurrences coupled with average temperature and moisture levels of region play an important role in soil formation. These smaller pieces are known as (sand, silt and clay), clay being the smallest size. Living Organisms Both plants and animals help to create a soil. As they die, organic matter incorporates with the weathered parent material and becomes part of the soil.

Soil allows plants to grow, supporting life on our planet. Soil depth worldwide averages a mere six inches (fifteen centimeters). Soil and its underlying layers are classified into layers known as "horizons." From the surface to the bedrock, these layers are: O Horizon - The top layer of soil, composed primarily of organic material, such as the litter of leaves and plants, insects, and microorganisms.

Extractions: Skip to content. Skip to navigation Search site Home Products Overview ... Soil Document Actions While soils are as essential to human society as air and water, soil degradation has not received nearly as much attention as the threats to these other two elements. Still soils are the basis for 90% of all human food, livestock feed, fibre, and fuel. They support human settlements and provide raw materials and groundwater. Major problems in Europe include: loss of top-soil due to erosion or building activities, contamination, and acidification. Lack of attention to soil degradation can be seen not only in the lack of European directives or soil protection targets, but also in the scarcity of data. While, for instance, 300,000 sites across the EU have been identified as definitely or potentially contaminated, the best estimate is that there are 1.5 million contaminated areas.

http://www.geography4kids.com/files/land_soil.html

Extractions: Although soil has many uses, it is really just a layer of dirt between the atmosphere and the bedrock in the tectonic plates . The top layer of the planet is called the lithosphere . Soil is the loose stuff on the surface of the lithosphere. We have talked about plate tectonics and swirling clouds in the atmosphere. In the same way those conditions change, the soil changes. It changes very slowly but very definitely. It's a very complex system that supports all of the life on land. Soil is much more than just dirt. It is the result of the breakdown of rocks. The breakdown is both physical and chemical. Soil is mainly something scientists call regolith . Regolith is sandwiched between the bedrock (the rock that makes up the continents) and the actual loose soil (the top stuff at the surface). If you see a tree you know its roots make it into the soil. They could even go all the way to the regolith and stop when they get to the bedrock. As the process of erosion happens, some areas are built up and some areas are destroyed. The first thing to change is the soil. One extreme example would be the Grand Canyon. Over millions of years, the Colorado River has eroded and washed away tons of soil and rocks at the surface. It all went to the ocean eventually. Inland processes work the same way. The soil and rocks from the sides of a mountain move downhill and collect in the lower areas. Slowly the valleys fill up with very rich soil and minerals. Soil is always moving.
