Question

G. Think and answer.
1. Why is formation of peds more common in wet soil?
2. How is percolation of water related to water table?
3. Soil is a natural resource which is constantly formed by the weathering of rocks but we are worried
by the soil erosion. Explain why?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\red{\mathtt{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

• Peds are aggregates of soil particles formed as a result of pedogenic processes; this natural organization of particles forms discrete units separated by pores or voids. The term is generally used for macroscopic (visible; i.e. greater than 1 mm in size) structural units when observing soils in the field. Soil peds should be described when the soil is dry or slightly moist, as they can be difficult to distinguish when wet .

• Water Tables and Aquifers. Water at the surface of the Earth seeps slowly into the soil, a process known as percolation. Water will percolate through the uppermost layer of soil and loose material that contains air, the aerated zone, down to a level called the water table.

• Soil is constantly formed by weathering of rocks but we are too concerned about soil erosion because soil erosion means depletion of top soil and if top soil depletes then there is difficult for ants to grow and all the organisms are directly or indirectly dependent on plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.ans.Peds are aggregates of soil particles formed as a result of pedogenic processes; this natural organization of particles forms discrete units separated by pores or voids. The term is generally used for macroscopic (visible; i.e. greater than 1 mm in size) structural units when observing soils in the field. Soil peds should be described when the soil is dry or slightly moist, as they can be difficult to distinguish when wet.

2.ans.Water Tables and Aquifers. Water at the surface of the Earth seeps slowly into the soil, a process known as percolation. Water will percolate through the uppermost layer of soil and loose material that contains air, the aerated zone, down to a level called the water table.

3.ans.Soil is constantly formed by weathering of rocks but we are too concerned about soil erosion because soil erosion means depletion of top soil and if top soil depletes then there is difficult for ants to grow and all the organisms are directly or indirectly dependent on plants.
