While soil minerals and organic matter hold and store nutrients, soil water is what readily provides nutrients for plant uptake. Soil air, too, plays an integral role since many of the microorganisms that live in the soil need air to undergo the biological processes that release additional nutrients into the soil.The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air.

A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth.]]> 2016-10-28 17:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133969455 moenadeshay https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133972252 An earthquake(also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can be violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. These is micity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.]]> 2016-10-28 17:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133972252 moenadeshay https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133973904 A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle.]]> 2016-10-28 18:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133973904 moenadeshay https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133974404 A geyser is a vent in Earth's surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam. Even a small geyser is an amazing phenomenon; however some geysers have eruptions that blast thousands of gallons of boiling hot water up to a few hundred feet in the air. ]]> 2016-10-28 18:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133974404 moenadeshay https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133974525 A landslide is the movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope. They result from the failure of the materials which make up the hill slope and are driven by the force of gravity.

Historically, landfills have been the most common method of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world.]]> 2016-10-28 18:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133974837 moenadeshay https://padlet.com/moenadeshay/uvizc1yfkuu6/wish/133988727 The lithosphere is where we live.
