very harming but, they can also be helpful. For instance they help the soil become richer overtime. They can also be harmful because, they can wipe out towns and cities. They can also be harmful because, they put so, much smoke into the air during the eruption. So, as you can see volcanoes are more than just hot lava. Volcanoes can eventually over time make the soil a lot richer which helps the environment greatly. By the soil becoming healthier it is easier for farmers to grow crops or to have…

part of the environment and are formed as a result of many different minerals. Salts are also deposited around the environment by water tables, seawater intrusions, fertilizers, and soil amendments like gypsum and lime. These are commonly used provide essential nutrients to the soil as well as improve acid levels in soils. However, excess amounts of salt…

Root phenotype is long and short .long root is deep in soil for absorption of underground water. Short root is spread wide root at absorption of top soil for water and nutrients. When corns were got a lot of water or flood. Sometimes root of corns were not oxygen. Corn is low photosynthesis rate. Light Corns are low photosynthesis rate at low intensity light because photosynthetic pigments are…

By observing changes in soil quality, a land manager can conclude if a set of practices are sustainable. There are many purposes of soil. Soil offers a physical, chemical and biological environment for organisms whose habitat is among the soil, as well as the roots and tubers of plants. Soil controls water distribution to overflow, access, or storage. This affects movement of soluble materials – materials that can be dissolved. Another role soil performs is the regulation of biological…

volcano helps enrich the soil. While I’m on that topic, the article states that “the minerals in the deposits are not immediately available” (McDonaugh 28), thus concluding that it takes a while for the nutrients to break down into the soil, making it richer. It takes a tremendous amount of time for this rich soil to form, it can take up to a thousand years for the volcanic deposits to break-down into the soil. But when it does, “the deposits create among the richest soils on Earth” (McDonaugh…

Gallegos Open Space area sits near the base of the Sandia Mountains on a piedmont surface. This exercise was intended to gain insight into the mountain-front landforms of the Pino Embayment area. Through the use of surficial geological mapping and soil descriptions we were able to establish relative ages of geomorphic surfaces of the area and determine whether the area displayed qualities of alluvial fan and pediment surfaces. The geomorphic setting of the study area showed resemblances…

Reddit Share this article on Pinterest Raised bed gardening refers to gardens whose surfaces are higher than the surrounding ground, whether they're in the yard or on a patio or deck. Most are constructed by building large boxes to hold the garden soil approximately 8 inches higher than the surrounding ground; but, it is also possible - and sometimes quite practical…

The protocol used to perform this experiment was followed as indicated by Simmons (2009). Three labeled glass jars with screw tops were obtained and approximately 8 grams of soda lime was added to only two of the jars. The other jar without soda lime served as a control to account for any CO2 already present in the chamber. All three jars were labeled with a number and location. Both jars containing the granules were oven dried to remove any water content for 24-hours. Next, jars were removed…

You may hear the word volcano and think scorching hot lava, but there is more to these heated mountains than you think. Volcanos can be quit dangerous but we do benefit from them. Volcanos do not only affect us, they infect our environment in ways most people may not know. To start off, the population of volcanos has grown tremendously. In the 1900’s, “roughly 60 (volcanos) erupted each year” as stated in the first paragraph of the article “How Many Active Volcanoes Are There”. Now, it is know…
