Question

a glass jar or a peel of orange which one will rot the fastest when burried in soil

Answer 1

a glass jar takes much time than orange peel as it is non biodegradable material so decomposers take many years to decompose it while peel of orange takes 20 to 30 days

Answer 2

A peel of orange will rot fastest when buried in the soil.

• The decomposition of the materials in the soil is dependent upon the biodegradation nature of that material.

• Now,the orange peel is biodegradable material and the glass is non-biodegradable material.

• And, that's why the orange peel decomposes at a faster speed as compared to the glass jar. Infact,the glass jar will not decompose due to it's non-biodegradable nature.
