Answer: B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.

Explanation:

Soil is an aggregate of minerals, gases, water, and organic matter which supports the life of the plants. The soil is formed by the weathering of the rocks. But the formation and development of soil depends upon factors like temperature of the surrounding environment, rainfall and plants growing on it. The rainfall or precipitation can directly influence the quality of the soil. Too much rainfall can lead to leaching or removal of the inorganic and organic nutrients from the soil. They may make the soil acidic.

B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.

Soil is known to be a loose mixture of rock fragments, water, organic materials and air that  usually accommodate the growth of vegetation. Thus, formation and development of soil is a dynamic process rather than static and soil is present when pre-historic animals roamed the Earth and some these animals are preserved only fossilized soils buried deep beneath our present soil.

How does acid precipitation cause rocks to weather faster?
larisa86 [58]
Because it causes them to move, and so they weather that way. Buut the acid rain can leak into the rock and slowly break down the atoms, causing it to chemically weather faster. Also, just regular water/rain can wash away some covering sediment.

1) Mice not radio waved.

2) Radio

3) Strength of mice

4) Maybe inconclusive.

5) Improves strength

Explanation:

  1. Control Group - Mice not radio waved.
  2. Independent Variable - radio.
  3. Dependent Variable - Strength of mice.
  4. What should Bart's conclusion be? Maybe inconclusive.
  5. How could Bart's experiment be improved? Improves strength

Experimental setup

setup that is testing a hypothesis using a variable. In most cases only one variable should be tested at a time.

Control Setup

setup that is identical to the experimental setup, only it does not contain a variable.

Independent Variable

The one factor that is change by the person doing the experiment

Dependent Variable

The factor which is measured in the experiment

Constant
