which of the following factors influence how soils develop and change? select all that apply.
□ moon phase
☑ living things that add organic matter to soils, and remove nutrients
☑ water and rainfall - this weathers parent material and transports soil particles
☑ rock parent material that is deposited or weathered in place

Explanation:

Moon phases have no direct impact on soil development. In contrast, living organisms contribute organic matter and cycle nutrients, water/rainfall weathers parent material and moves soil particles, and rock parent material is the foundational material for soil formation, all of which are key factors in soil development and change.

Answer:

• living things that add organic matter to soils, and remove nutrients
• water and rainfall - this weathers parent material and transports soil particles
• rock parent material that is deposited or weathered in place
