Answer:

Principles of Geology

Explanation:

J. Henslow gifted Darwin the first volume of Principles of Geology, written by Charles Lyell. The book explains about the old age of the earth. Accordingly, the slow rate of several geological processes suggests that the earth is very old.

Darwin read the book as the ship was crossing the Atlantic and learned about geological processes occurring over the millions of years. For example, he learned that the earth's surface was not formed by some catastrophic event.

In his book, Lyell explained the slow and gradual geological processes like erosion gave rise to the vast landscapes present on the earth's surface.

Darwin compared the time taken by geological processes to form the earth's surface and reasoned if these millions of years were enough to support the evolution of species.

Organic matter in soil is also called _____.
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer would be humus.

Humus is the organic material of the soil formed by the decomposition of the dead plants and animals. It is thick and dark in color (brown or black) and can also be produced by the process of composting.

It is very for the soil as it adds moisture to the soil, enhances the structure of the soil which increases the aeration and drainage.

It favors the growth of organisms (such as earthworm) helpful for the growth of plants and adds lots of nutrients to the soil, specially nitrogen.

In contrast, loam is a type of soil which is composed of silt, sand, and clay in 40-40-20 ratio. Regolith referred to the superficial layer covering the solid rocks or bedrock. It is formed by the accumulation of soil, dust, broken rocks etc on the bedrock.

Lastly, talus referred to the slope which is formed by deposition of shattered rock debris at the base of a cliff.
