soil report

We have been learning about soil. Here is my report.

What is Soil?

Soil is the top layer of our  Earth. Plants need soil because they need the soil’s nutrients to grow. If there was no soil nothing would grow for people to eat.
There are three types of soil: sand, loam and clay. Sand is not a  very good soil because it’s really really soft. This is bad because it can’t hold up plants or trees.
Loam soil is the best soil because it holds the right amount  of water and air .
Clay soil is a soil that has not much air in it. Soil has metal in it that can be made into earrings and all other metal things.


Why is soil important?

Soil is important  because if people cut down the trees they are killing native fish and our native plants that live in the lake or rivers.
So it goes like - this people cut down trees then they just leave  them there and when the rain comes, it washes the soil down into the  rivers and lakes and that kill our native   
fish and plants. It’s not fair that animals died  because nobody can put it back together  and fix it and now they are endangered.

Is soil a habitat for many animals?

Soil is a habitat for many animals that live underground and animals that are invertebrates often live underground like beetles, ants and spiders.
