Answer 1

Answer:

1. Recreational - fun, non-essentials like parks.
2. Transport - roads, railways, and airports.
3. Agricultural - farmland.
4. The use of land is determined by physical factors such as topography, soil, climate, minerals and availability of water. Human factors such as population density, available of capital and technology are also important determinants of land use pattern. The factors that determine land use of an area are physical factors.
5. Soil is a material composed of five ingredients — minerals, soil organic matter, living organisms, gas, and water. Soil minerals are divided into three size classes — clay, silt, and sand (Figure 1); the percentages of particles in these size classes is called soil texture. The mineralogy of soils is diverse.
6. Parent rock, also referred to as substratum, refers to the original rock from which something else was formed. It is mainly used in the context of soil formation where the parent rock (or parent material) normally has a large influence on the nature of the resulting soil.
7. Earth is rightfully called a water-world: far more than half of our planet is covered in water. There's also water underground, in rivers, and in the atmosphere. Collectively, all of this water forms Earth's hydrosphere. ... That's because the ocean covers 71 percent of Earth's surface.
