The biome that has infertile soil, principally oxisols, to which the vegetation <span>has roots systems that capture nutrients from litter decay, is the tropical rainforest.
Soil types are highly variable in the tropics and are the result of a combination of several elements or variables which includes climate, vegetation, topographic position, parent material and also the soil age. Most of the tropical soils are described by leaching and poor nutrients. It also has two classifications: namely the ultisols and oxisols. Ultisols are known as well-weathered, acidic red clays soils. They are deficient primarily in major nutrients such as potassium and calcium. Oxisols are also an acidic type of tropical soil. However, they are well drained compared to the ultisols.

B. Deposition
Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
Answer:
The correct model is D.
Note: The first attachment below shows the different models. The second attachment shows the correct structural model of the water molecule.
Explanation:
A water molecule is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.
A water molecule is polar, i.e. it contains positively and negatively opposite ends. The polar nature of the water molecule is due to strong electronegativity of oxygen which results in an uneven sharing of the bonding electrons between oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons more to itself, thereby, it acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms acquire a partial positive charge.
The bond angle between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms is approximately 105°. Therefore, from the first attachment below, the correct model for the water molecule is D.
