Q

Types of Soil

A

Loam, Clay, Silt, Sandy

17
Q

It is good for agriculture and made up of particles of gravel sand and clay with the addition of organic a material called humus, with 1 in diameter.

A

Soil

18
Q

Smallest inorganic particle of soil compared with silt and sand. It retains water before drying; it is sticky and not suitable for plant growth. Water moves very slowly. It is often damp and poorly drained, about 0.005 mm in diameter.

A

Clay

19
Q

Made up of very fine particles of soil and clay, deposited as sediments. It is about 0.05 to 0.005 in diameter.

A

silt

20
Q

Inorganic soil particles are larger than clay or silt. Plants do not grow well because water goes rapidly through the spaces between particles and dries quickly. Its size is about 1 mm to 0.05 in diameter.

A

Sandy

21
Q

Light is an important physical factor. Without light, life on Earth would be impossible.

A

Sunlight

22
Q

It is an important factor because of its effect on metabolism.

A

Environmental Temperature

23
Q

(O2) is another important abiotic factor for many living organisms.

A

Oxygen

24
Q

It is the relationship that includes mating, assistance, gorgeousness, and competition. Organisms belonging to the same species must compete with one another for space; food, and mates.

A

Intraspecific

25
Q

It is that relationships are also biological factors of great importance. Different species must struggle with each other for space and food. Since many species use
other kinds of animals for food, each habitat includes predaceous animals.

A

Interspecific
