Explanation:

Soil formation is influenced by organisms (such as plants), micro-organisms (such as bacteria or fungi), burrowing insects, animals and humans.

As soil forms, plants begin to grow in it. The plants mature, die and new ones take their place. Their leaves and roots are added to the soil. Animals eat plants and their wastes and eventually their bodies are added to the soil.

This begins to change the soil. Bacteria, fungi, worms and other burrowers break down plant litter and animal wastes and remains, to eventually become organic matter.

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1) Binds soil particles into aggregates and improves the water holding capacity of soil.

2) When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, most of it becomes bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. This increase in hydrogen ions is what decreases the pH.

3) Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation and preventing it from escaping into outer space. The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface, a process known as global warming.

Without greenhouse gases in its atmosphere , the Earth would be much colder on average than it is now. Greenhouse gases: absorb energy transferred as infrared radiation from the Earth's surface. release infrared radiation in all directions, which keeps the Earth warm.
