ANSWER - TO RECORD SOILS ARE USED BY PEOPLE .

Answer 2

The correct option to the following question is (d), which is to record how soil maps are used by people.

• A soil map is a geographical representation of the diversity of soil types and/or soil properties (soil pH, textures, organic matter, depths of horizons) in the area of interest.
• It is typically the end result of a soil survey inventory, i.e. soil survey.
• It is used to determine the land drainage capabilities of an area, and suitability of soils for particular crops, and identify soils and their properties.
• It is not used to record how soils are used by the people.
• It is used in land evaluation, spatial planning, agricultural extension, environmental protection and similar projects.
