What is Soil (and Why is it Important)?: Crash Course Geography #17
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 06. 2021
- Soil brings together all four spheres of physical geography, and understanding soil composition is kind of like baking! So in today's episode, we're going to show you how to create the perfect soil cake, examine its different soil horizons, and then take you on a trip along the 20th meridian from the Congo to northern Europe to show you how the composition of soil varies dramatically with the environment. Soils are the foundation of life on Earth, from the local ecosystems of plants and animals to the crops we grow and food we eat, so it is up to us to care for it as we decide how to manage our land and resources.

I am pursuing my soil science certification. This video was great! Thank you.
I was wondering this just this morning
i had no idea that the dirt beneath our feet was this complex
I literally asked this question like last week or something…! What is dirt?? Lol
Very interesting. I wish I knew all the places with bad soil so I could fix it. How hard could that be?
Please continue to educate me 😁

I can't remember what soil is but I remember that dirt is just displaced soil so all the "soil" at the store is lies!!!! Thanks scishow tangents!

Soils are the life support material on Earth. Just look around anywhere. All our food originates and develops in the soil. By the way, soils are NOT dirt.
Read “pay dirt” by Rodale, “an agricultural testament “by sir Alfred Howard these are primers on soil
Great now I can't eat cake without thinking about dirt wedges lol
