Solution
The correct option is B Soil texture
Answer: The correct answer is option (b) – Soil texture
- The two important climatic factors responsible for soil formation are temperature and rainfall.
- The other climatic factors responsible for soil formation are rate of weathering, and humus.
- Apart from Climate, other major factors which are responsible for the formation of the soil are Relief, Parent Rock, Time, flora, fauna and microorganisms.
- Under Relief, the major factors which are responsible for the formation of soil are slope, altitude, accumulation of soil.
- Time is a factor which determines the thickness of the soil.
- The rate of humus formation is determined by the flora, fauna and microorganisms.
- Parent rock determines the permeability of soil, chemical properties of soil, colour of the soil, texture of the soil, content and mineral composition of the soil.
- The major threat to soil resource is the depletion and soil erosion.
- Degradation of soils takes place due to natural factors and human factors.
- Floods, landslides, rain wash, pesticides, overuse of chemical fertilizers, overgrazing, deforestation are the major factors which lead to degradation of soil.
- Degradation of soils takes place due to natural factors and human factors.
- Floods, landslides, rain wash, pesticides, overuse of chemical fertilizers, overgrazing, deforestation are the major factors which lead to degradation of soil.
- The decline in soil fertility is known as soil degradation.
- Soil degradation occurs when depth of the soil goes down due to misuse, erosion, and when the nutritional status declines.
- Depletion of the soil resource base in India is due to soil degradation.
- According to the amount of rainfall, velocity of the wind, and topography the degree of soil degradation is different from location to location.
