Question

What are the similarities between components of a computer and the components of soil

Answer 1

Answer:

There is one big and most important similarity of the computer and soil is the silicon element.

Explanation:

The soil is made up of many silicon compounds like silica and silicon oxides. Silica plays an important role in the fertility of the soil as it reduces the loss of ammonia from the soil.

In a computer, the silica is present in form of silicon chips. It is used n computer chips, transistors and in many electric circuits as it is a semiconductor element.

As silicon is the same but its usage is different in computer and soil.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both contains a major element known as silicon

Explanation:

The soil is a mix of minerals, organic matter, air, and water. It is basically a constituent of silicon compounds, e.g silica and silicon oxides.

A computer is an electronic device that is used for processing of data or given a specific language to give information. One of it major component is the silicon which is present in the form of silicon chips. Either in the form of a resistor, transistor or as a  semiconductor.

So the major similarity between the components of computer and soil is the presence of the basic element- silicon, in different forms.
