Question

.......... affect the soil profile and bring changes in soil structure.

• A. Vegetation
• B. Animals
• C. Climatic factors
• D. Fertilizers

Answer 1

The correct option is C Climatic factors

• Climate affects soil formation because it determines the amount of water that is available for processes such as the weathering of minerals, the transportation of minerals and the release of elements. Climate also influences the temperature of the soil, which determines the rate of chemical weathering.
• Temperature and rainfall are the two main climatic factors responsible for soil formation.
• Hence, Climatic factors affect soil profile and bring changes in soil structure.

So, the correct answer is 'Climatic factors'.
