The Nature of Soil 1. A layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering covers the surface of Earth. 2. Weathering gradually breaks rocks into smaller and smaller fragments. 3. Plants and animals add organic matter, the remains of once-living organisms, to the rock fragments. • Soil is a mixture of weathered rock, decayed

Weathering and Soil 9 Name Date Class Chemical Weathering Rocks are mixtures of minerals that are either elements or chemical compounds. Chemical weathering is the chemical reaction of these minerals with carbon dioxide, water, oxygen, or other substances at Earth’s surface. For example, in minerals containing iron, the iron reacts with oxygen

soil resources depend on natural factors (parent material, weathering rates, organic activity) and human activity. We devote a separate section to soil erosion, a persistent threat to U.S. agriculture for centuries. By the 1700s, the negative consequences of early farming techniques were becoming apparent in the abandoned fields of eastern ...
