A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

Is a fossil a biotic or abiotic factor? Explain why or why not.*<br> 2 points<br> Your answer
olasank [31]

Answer:

I am not going to straight out give you the answer, because I believe you can figure the answer out yourself. Ask yourself is the fossil living (or once living) or not living? If the fossil <em>is </em>living or once lived, that would make it biotic. If the fossil is not alive, that would make it abiotic.
