ince land plants emerged from swampy coastlines over 400 million years ago, they have played a fundamental role in shaping the Earth system. Roots and associated fungi increase rock weathering rates, providing access to nutrients, while altering atmospheric CO2. As soils weather, the dissolution of primary minerals forces plants to rely on recycling and atmospheric deposition of rock-derived nutrients. Thus, for many terrestrial ecosystems, weathering ultimately constrains primary production (carbon uptake) and decomposition (carbon loss). These constraints are most acute in agricultural systems, which rely on mined fertilizer rather than the recycling of organic material to maintain production. Humans now mine similar amounts of some elements as weather out of rocks globally. This increase in supply has myriad environmental consequences.]]> 2019-10-20 11:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nehagrover/SOIL/wish/399961287 https://padlet.com/nehagrover/SOIL/wish/399962599 Batul 3-U

Weathering can be a physical, chemical or biological process:

  • physical weathering—breakdown of rocks from the result of a mechanical action. Temperature changes, abrasion (when rocks collide with each other) or frost can all cause rocks to break down.
  • chemical weathering—breakdown of rocks through a change in their chemical makeup. This can happen when the minerals within rocks react with water, air or other chemicals. 
  • biological weathering—the breakdown of rocks by living things. Burrowing animals help water and air get into rock, and plant roots can grow into cracks in the rock, making it split.

Most soils are made mostly from decayed plant and animal matter, or biomatter(the same way compost is made of decaying plants) However you can also get soils that are made up of mostly sand and less biomatter. Around volcanoes you can get soils that are made up largely of volcanic ash from past eruptions, this can make the soil very rich for plant life.

Weathering is a process by which surface rock breaks down. Erosion is a process by which weathered rock is moved by natural forces such as wind, waves, water, and ice.



There are three types of weathering:


  • Physical or mechanical weathering (for example, water gets into cracks in rock and then freezes, pushing against the rock from the inside);
  • Chemical weathering (for example, oxygen interacts with iron in rocks, causing the iron to turn to rust and thus weakening the rock)
  • Organic or biological weathering (for example, the roots of a tree grow into boulders in the soil and splitting the boulders apart over time)


While these different types of weathering can be described as different from one another, they also work together. For example, tree roots may split boulders more easily because the rocks have been weakened as a result of chemical or physical weathering.

Soil is formed by the breaking down of rocks. The process of breaking down lasts for thousands of years.
Soil is the top layer of earth. Colour of soil differs from place to place. Soil contains nutrients and provides water to the plants which helps plants to grow. 
Soil is important for both animals and plant life. Farmers grow crops in the soil.
Soil is also home to many animals such as earthworms, ants and snails etc..]]> 2019-10-20 17:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nehagrover/SOIL/wish/400003095 Sera theresa 3u https://padlet.com/nehagrover/SOIL/wish/400009011 Soil is formed by the breaking down of rocks.

It does not involve the removal of rock material. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical and biological.Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical Weathering.Weathering From Ice
When water sinks into cracks in a rock and the temperature drops low enough, the water freezes into ice. The ice expands and forms wedges in the rock that can split the rock into smaller fragments.Ice wedging happens because water expands as it goes from liquid to solid. When the temperature is warm, water works its way into cracks in rock. When the temperature cools below freezing, the water turns to ice and expands. ... Ice wedging is very effective at weathering.

Soil is formed due to weathering, when the material left as residue from weathering breaks down and combines with organic material.
Tap roots are roots which have only a main root and have small roots growing out of them. These roots grow deep into the soil, and eventually reach rocks which they break down slowly. This leaves crevices in these rocks. When it rains, water enters these cracks and exerts pressure on the walls of the crevices. This leads to the slow breaking up of rocks into smaller particles, and finally into soil over a long period.
