Why is soil important?
You need to think about what soil does. Go outside and look at everything that sits on, in, and around dirt. Write down what you see. After you see what soil does, then look at what happens when soil isn’t around the objects from the above lesson. Write down what happens to things when the soil is eroded. That’s all to it. Have fun learning about soil and how important it is.
It is a place for roots to anchor the plants. It holds lots of mineral, chemical and organic nutrients. It holds moisture to make the nutrients available for the plant and allow groth and transpiration. Erosion can completely blow and/or wash away much of the soil or it can wash out a lot of the nutrients and organic matter.
