Chapter 10
-abrasion: the wearing way of rock from physical means.
-soil texture: how the soil particles are arranged.
- Soil conservation helps protect soil from losing its nutrients.
-Erosion moves sediments from one place to another.
-There are two types of weathering; mechanical/chemical.
-Mechanical weathering:weathering by physical means.
-Chemical weathering: weathering by chemical means.
-The fastest rate of weathering would be in a warm/humid climate.

-Soil consistency affects soil texture.
-Soil fertility describes soils ability to keep nutrients.
-Soil provides: homes for animals, nutrients and life for plants, and a place where water can be held.
-No-till farming is a type of farming that helps prevent erosion.
-Soil in temperate forests are healthy and fertile because of its warm humid climate.
-Nutrients leave soil when soil conservation is not at use.
-Cover crops are useful because they restore nutrients to infertile soil.
-Land degration is when bad farming techniques are used and the soil loses its nutrients and fertility.

-things in dryer climates weather much slower than things in warmer more humid climates.
-Leaching: removal of things that can be dissolved from rock, ore. or layers of soil from passing water.
