Scientists attribute soil formation to the following factors: Parent material, climate, biota (organisms), topography and time. ... The physical, chemical and biological properties of the different soils can have a big effect on how to best manage them.
Answer:
Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C).
The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean.
The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly.
Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the ocean, so the rising air contains great amounts of water vapour.
The rising air starts to spin (anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere)
The centre of the storm - the eye - is calm.
As the air rises it cools, condenses and forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.
The rapidly rising air creates an area of intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds.
Once the storm moves over land it starts to lose energy and fades.

Answer:
There are mainly 4 types of volcanoes.
Explanation:
1. Cinder cones: They are a bowl-shaped crater, build from particle or blobs of congealed lava that is ejected from a single gas vent, as the air is broken into small fragments that are solidified and falls as cinders.
2. Composite volcanoes: stratovolcano or composite cone are those that form a steep-sided, symmetrical cone of large dimensions built around by lavas. Some examples are Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon.
3. Lava domes: There internal structure is defined by bulbous masses of lava, that are too vicious.
4. Shield volcanoes: These are built entirely by fluid lava, and flow p[ours in all directions.
A volcano can change its surrounding weather patterns but not the climate of a place as a climatic zone is composed of stable and static atmosphere like that of poles, tropics, and temperate lands, etc.
Not all volcanic eruptions can be predicted successfully as they are also triggered by an earthquake and the active or dominant type of volcano can be identified based on its previous eruption patterns.
