Soil Formation

Question 8 • IC Environmental Science - Deering

Good soil tilth allows for _______.

Answer
A
hard, rocky soil
B
decreased plant life
C
decreased movement of air
D
increased porosity

Explanation

Good soil tilth means soil has a favorable structure for plant growth. Well-aggregated soil contains spaces between soil particles, which increase porosity and allow air and water to move through it. Therefore, “increased porosity” is the correct choice; hard, rocky soil and reduced air movement are signs of poor soil conditions.
