Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Humans impact soil formation through landscaping (changing terrain) and irrigating (altering water - soil interaction).
- Class I land has the fewest limitations for various uses.
- Classes I - IV are more suitable for field crop production due to better soil and terrain conditions.
- Horizon A is rich in organic matter and most supportive of plant growth.
- Clay particles are the smallest among soil particles.
- Good soil structure is both aggregated (clumps of particles) and crumbly (easy to break apart).
- Lime is used to raise soil pH as it is alkaline.
- Hydroponics is a form of nutriculture where plants are grown without soil.
- The use and importance of hydroponics are increasing due to factors like space - efficiency and controlled environment.
- Hydroponically grown plants differ mainly in nutrient requirements as they get nutrients from a solution instead of soil.
- Sunlight is the best and most economical light source for hydroponic plant growth as it is free and provides a full - spectrum light.
