D
E
In this picture E is the parent material. The D layer is the least weathered and most similar to parent material. What is this horizon?
A Horizon
B Horizon

Which of the lettered choices in the soil profile above represents the region with the greatest concentration of organic material?
A Horizon
B Horizon
C Horizon
D Horizon
E Horizon
The erosion of soil will destroy the soil profile and increase compaction. When water cannot percolate through the compacted soil it creates runoff which leads to more loss of soil. This is an example of a
negative feedback loop.
positive feedback loop.
circular feedback loop.
rain shadow effect.

75% Sand, 20% Silt, 5% Clay
70% Sand, 20% Silt, 10% Clay
65% Sand, 30% Silt, 10% Clay
60% Sand, 30% Silt, 10% Clay

What is the correct sequence of layers of the earth's atmosphere from earth's surface to space?
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere.
mesosphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, troposphere.
troposphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, thermosphere.

Which two factors allow earth to experience four distinct seasons?
latitude & solar intensity
tilt of axis & rotation of axis
tilt of axis & rotation around sun
distance from sun & place in orbit around sun
Temperatures in the stratosphere increase with elevation due to the presence of the
electrically charged ions
high-speed winds
ozone Layer
numerous clouds
The Coriolis effect
changes the circulation direction of water running down a drain
changes the direction of river flow
changes the direction of winds all around the earth
causes winds in the Southern Hemisphere to move to the west
The Coriolis effect is a result of
earth's gravitational pull
earth's rotation on its axis
the gravitational pull of the moon
the revolution of earth around the sun
Trade winds in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres deflect toward
the equator
the poles
continental landmasses
higher latitudes
