discuss between arid and peaty soil????
Answers
Answer:
Arid soils are found mostly in the region of dry climate whereas peaty soil is found in regions of tropical climate with dense vegetation. Arid soil is found to have low content of moisture whereas peaty soil has high content of moisture. Arid soil has low content of humus whereas peaty soil has high content of humus.
Explanation:
Arid soils are the soils of desert or semi-desert regions and colours varies from red to brown. (ii) The soil has sandy texture and salinity. As precipitation is very low the temperature is high and evaporation is faster making it lack in moisture and humus.
Peat is a type of soil made up of waterlogged partially-decomposed plant material including sphagnum moss and other acid-loving plants, which has built up over something like 10,000 years in poorly-drained wetland habitats.
