Answer:

Why is groundwater acidic?
madam [21]

Answer:

Groundwater flows from areas with a higher water table surface to areas with a lower water table. This mixture of carbonic acid in water makes most natural surface waters slightly acidic. As slightly acidic water infiltrates the ground to become part of the groundwater system it causes weathering of the rocks.

What is the most significant factor that controls the development of soil?
Sergeu [11.5K]


There are five factors of soil formation, these are:
1) Parent Material
2) Topography
3) Biota
4) Climate
5) Time

The parent material of soil is the material that soil develops from. It is where the soil acquires its inherent characteristics or attributes that will influence the direction, timing, and nature of soil as it develops over time.

Though Topography, Time, and Climate are factors of soil development, they are rendered unimportant when parent material is not present.
