Question

What determines the thickness of soil profile? A) Climate B) Time C) Relief D) Wind

Answer 1

Time determines the thickness of soil profile. Soil thickness was defined as the depth from the top soil profile to the weathered bedrock. Soil depth defines the root space and the volume of soil from where the plants fulfil their water and nutrient demands. A soil profile is a vertical section of soil. It allows you to examine the structure of soil. A soil profile is divided into layers called horizons.
