Question

choose the correct answer. what kinds of substances can leaching carry downward through the soil? nutrients, pesticides, and potentially harmful chemicals airborne particles boulders, rocks and other large natural objects living organisms such as plants and animals

Explanation:

Leaching is the process by which water - soluble substances are carried downward through the soil. Nutrients, pesticides, and potentially harmful chemicals are water - soluble and can be transported in this way. Airborne particles are not typically carried downward by leaching as they are in the air. Large natural objects like boulders and rocks are too heavy to be moved by the process of leaching. Living organisms are not carried downward through soil by leaching.

Answer:

nutrients, pesticides, and potentially harmful chemicals
