The soil profile is a vertical coss-section of soil. It shows all the layers of soil in order from top to bottom, from humus to bedrock. Soil scientists drill down into the ground and use spades and knoives to collect soil samples. Studying and describing soil helps people decide what to use for it. Soil is used in many different ways. Of course, it is used to grow crops on a farm or trees in a forest. It's also used to purify water; it acts as a filter that catches some viruses, oils, metals and excess nutrients. Many beauty products contain clay from soil. Some organic soils like peat, can even be used for fuel. It is important to study soil because.....

Different environments have different types of soil. For example, forest soil is generally dark, damp, and full of humus. This type of soil is perfect for growing trees and other plants that need a lot of water. The soil near a lake often contains a lot of sand. Sandy soil is drier and lighter in color than forest soil. Plants that don't need a lot of water, like cactus and palm trees, grow well in sandy soil.

Soil is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, water, and air. The minerals come from bits of broken-down rock. Organic matter is material that is alive or used to be alive. It includes leaves, twigs, bugs, and many microscopic, or tiny, organisms like bacteria and fungi. In fact, there are more microorganisms in a handful of soil than there are people on the planet! Soil is needed for life to exist on Earth. It contains many nutrients that help plants grow. Then the plants provide nutrients that help animals grow. Which of these are NOT a natural part of soil?
