Directions: Complete the concept map by filling in the physical forces or factors that affect soil erosion. Write your answers in your science notebook. FACTORS AFTECTING SOIL
•parent material- organic acids and exudates produced by microorganisms and plants enhance the weathering of minerals and the release of nutrients/ nutrient loss and retention
•climate- soils vry depending on climate
•topography- slope and aspect affect the moisture and temperature of soil
•time- over time, soils exhibit features that reflect the other forming factors
