Answer 2

1. The layer of soil that has maximum amount of humus is the topsoil.
2. The black soil is clayey, fertile, develops cracks during summer, and is ideal for the growth of cotton.
3. The process of conserving soil moisture by covering the ground with layers of straw or peat is called mulching.

• Topsoil, the topmost layer, is made up of humus, plant roots, and other living things.
• The topsoil's nutritional density and suitability for plant growth increase with the amount of humus it contains.
• Black soils are composed of incredibly fine, or clay-like, particles. The ability to retain moisture is widely known.
• Deep fissures form during warmer weather, aiding in appropriate aeration.
• Mulching is the practice of protecting the soil by covering it with peat or straw layers.
• A layer of organic (or inorganic) material called mulch is spread over a plant's root zone.
• Straw, wood chips, and peat are a few examples of mulch materials.
