Question: Describe soil and it’s roles in agriculture. Address how long it takes for soil to form and the challenges of arid soil.

Answer: The Earth is covered by soil, only a few dozen centimeters thick. It’s described as a “hot bed” of activity that is basically it’s very own ecosystem. The insects, worms, and the billions of bacteria living inside the soil, help to digest mineral, animal, and plant matter left behind to create the nutrients needed for the plants that we need to survive to grow. These plants not only feed us, but the animals we eat as well. The process of creating 2.5 centimeters of soil in arid areas takes around 500 years.

Role of soil in agriculture and its formation process.

Soil is usually the upper layer of Earth in which the growth of most plants takes place. Soil is characterized as a ‘hot bed’ which is a mixture of minerals, air, water, insects, worms, and billions of bacteria.

Soil is the most important aspect of agriculture and also the main source of nutrients needed for the growth of plants which feed us. It takes approximately 500 years to generate 2.5 centimeters of soil in a dried up or parched area.
