Answer:

Limestone will be weathered faster than Quartzite

Explanation:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed from the collection of organic elements such as shells of organisms, along with other sediments. They are made up of calcium carbonate and these sediments are compacted and solidified and forms limestone over a specific period of time.

On the other hand, Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms when quartz rich sandstone undergoes metamorphism. They contain abundant quartz, which is a hard and resistant mineral.

Limestone is weathered at a much faster rate than Quartzite.

Limestone breaks down by chemical weathering process when rain water containing carbonic acid precipitates and falls over the surface of the rock. Whereas, quartzite is comprised of quartz that is comparatively dense, hard and resistant. So, they are affected at a much slower rate.

How does overtillage harm soil?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

A. Overtillage can increase the rate of humus decomposition

Explanation:

We refer to humus as any material of an organic nature that undergoes soil degradation. Humus is very important for agriculture because it has high nutrient levels that it provides to all crops. This causes more crop productivity, increases the producer's profit and increases the number of food available to the population.

Humus is a difficult to decompose material, but under favorable conditions it can decompose quite easily. Due to the presence of large amount of burnt organic matter in the soil, it is sometimes difficult to increase the humus content, so the exhaustion of this organic matter is caused by over tillage, especially in regions of tropical and sub-tropical climate, poorly managed. farmer protection and unprotected effects of erosion.
