(D-Describe the process of soil formation and state on which basis these are classified
Answers
Answer:
•The process of soil formation are as follows :
Soil formation is done due to material available through the denudation. Minerals, humidity, air and humus are mixed up in it. Thus soil is the natural mixture of minerals and biotic elements which has the capacity to grow and develop vegetation.
The soil is the layer or the surface of the matter formed due to the mixture of the scattered material of the parental rocks and vegetation.
Factors of denudation prepare very thin powder through the denudation of rocks.
The humus formed due to the disintegration or decay of vegetation or insects is added to this. These biotic elements play an important role in the development of the vegetation.
The climatic impact on the duration of soil formation is so important and widespread the soil formed of different type of rocks in that region over long time is the same.
So the soil formed out of the same parental rocks under different climatic influence is different.
•Factors of basis of classification are:
1.Type of parental rocks they are formed from .
2.Climatic conditions the soil formation is undergoing .
3.Geographical locations like montain soil ,desert soil. etc.
4.Colour they have like laterite soil have red colour ,regur is black in colour .
5.Role of structure and humus content they have.
