How does water erosion affect crops? What are the causes of increased soil erosion? What are some effects of soil erosion? What are the four agents of erosion? What is river erosion and how does it work? How long does it take new soil to form and why we should be concerned about losing soil to erosion? How does soil erosion affect plant growth? What is the rock cycle? What is the relationship between rocks and minerals? What are the details of the rock cycle? Does every rock go through the complete rock cycle? In the rock cycle, what is the chemical change involved with the formation of igneous rocks? What is deposition in the rock cycle? How do I explain the rock cycle to a kid, in story form? When was the rock cycle discovered? How and by who? Can someone explain the concept that the rock cycle never destroys elements of rocks, but merely redistributes? How is the rock cycle related to the principle of uniformitarianism? Can you post links to diagrams of the rock cycle? How can geologists use a rock cycle diagram? How can the rock cycle be broken?

How does rock cycle begin? Why should humans care about the rock cycle? How does the rock cycle affect the atmosphere of the earth? How does the rock cycle change one rock into another? How long can the rock cycle take? What are some examples of rocks that are not formed by the rock cycle? California valley soils are fertile. What does that mean? When a tropical rain forest is cleared why does the soil usually become useless for growing crops after only a few years? What do soil sensors measure? What role do legume crops play in the promotion of healthy, fertile soil? What are examples of how farmers can prevent topsoil erosion? What layer of soil is closest to the surface? Why is volcanic soil (andisol) fertile? How do microorganisms affect humus and thereby soil health? What the distinction between soil structure and soil texture? When does soil salinization occur? Explain how deforestation affects the lithosphere? What are the = causes of soil salinization? Removing all tree cover from a watershed greatly increases water runoff and loss of soil nutrients. This in turn increases soil erosion, causing more vegetation to die, leaving barren ground, which causes more erosion. What is this cycle known as? What connection is between poor soil and deforestation? What is desertification? Why is soil formation always the first stage of primary succession; does soil formation ever stop? What factors affect the formation of soil? How does weathering contribute to soil formation? How are the properties of soil affected by the 5 influential factors of soil formation? Does weathering have an impact on soil formation? What processes form soil? How is weathering related to erosion? How is black soil formed? How is topsoil formed? What is a soil horizon? What soil properties influence soil moisture? What is non-cohesive soil? What are the benefits of soil conservation? Which soil is best for farming? What is soil fertility?
