  2. Overview Soil and landscapes! What is the Weatheringand Soil Formation? What are the Factors of Soil Formation? What is the equation of Soil Formation? What is the relation between Soil and Environment? Videos

  3. Soil and landscapes! (1/2) Soils must be considered in the context of their landscapes! Soils are important because they: •Filter water •Regulate the flow of rivers, •Provide habitat for millions of species of organisms,

  4. Soil and landscapes! (2/2) • Provide water, nutrients and support for plants, • Sequester carbon from the atmosphere, • Serve as a “compost bin” for the Earth, • Moderate and regulate distributions of solar energy, • Provide a historical record of the influences of climate and living organisms upon the parent material from/in which the soil is formed,

  5. What is Weatheringand Soil Formation? (1/3) Pedogenesis (Soil Formation) is a complex process that does not follow a linear path of development. While some Soilsdo form in place, most Soils form in: Mineral or Organic substrates (Parent Materials) that have been displaced from their source of origin. Let’s talk about some key factors regarding: Weathering and Soil Formation.

  6. What is Weatheringand Soil Formation? (2/3) Weatheringbreaks down and alters rocks and minerals at or near Earth's surface and is divided into PhysicalWeathering and ChemicalWeathering and Biological Weathering. .
