Role of soil in agriculture and its formation process.
Soil is usually the upper layer of Earth in which the growth of most plants takes place. Soil is characterized as a ‘hot bed’ which is a mixture of minerals, air, water, insects, worms, and billions of bacteria.
Soil is the most important aspect of agriculture and also the main source of nutrients needed for the growth of plants which feed us. It takes approximately 500 years to generate 2.5 centimeters of soil in a dried up or parched area.
<span>In terms of the words themselves, "liberties" and "losses" are similar in that they both start with "l" and end with "s." However, "liberties" has three syllables while "losses" has only two. In regard to the meaning of the words, they are more different than similar. "Liberties" refers to the freedoms that one has, while "losses" refer to one's defeats. So, "liberties" has a more positive connotation while "losses" has a more negative meaning.</span>
I have matched the suffixes, prefixes and word roots with their meanings as follows; milli = 1/1000, hecto=100, centi= 1/100th (say of a meter), deci = 1/10th, kilo = 1000 times, deca = 10 times, meter = 100cm or a measure, giga = large and mega = giant.
It’s c I hope this help have a good day
