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.

Your aunt grows sprouts hydroponically. from where do her plants get nutrients?
larisa [96]
Hydroponics way of growing, is way of farming, in which plants are grown in nutrient rich water. So, in Hydroponic growing of sprouts, sprouts get their nutrients from the nutrients supply like liquid fertilizers which are mixed with the water. It is one of the advantage of hydroponic means of growing because, unlike in soil system, the plants root does not have to work hard to get nutrient from underground. The easy availability of nutrients and other condition like water, pH level etc makes plants grow faster are fuller.

Also, advancement of technology have made it possible to prepare built-in hybrid hydroponic system which have multiple ways of delivering nutrient to specific plants.
