Name The Soil

Name the soil which is found in coniferous forests with acidic mor humus (formed by the decaying needles and cones)

Podzol

1 of 15

Name the soil which has little bacterial action due to there being a lack of organisms in the cold climate

Gley

2 of 15

Name the two soils which have a poorly drained, marshy and waterlogged iron pan

Podzol and Gley

3 of 15

Name the soil which is found in decidious forests with mull humus (mildly acidic from leaf litter)

Brown Earth

4 of 15

Name the soil which has better drainage and is more fertile than Podzol

Brown Earth

5 of 15

Name the soil which has a lack of organisms due to the cold climate and so has poorly mixed soil and clearly defined horizons

Podzol

6 of 15

Name the soil that is found in an area with a lack of vegetation (mainly just shrubs and grass)

Gley

7 of 15

Name the soil that remains frozen for most of the year, where the temperature is rarely about 0 degrees celcius, where melt water cannot drain freely due to permafrost. However, where there is a mixing of soil and so therefore less defined horizons

Gley

8 of 15

Name the soil that is present in a warmer climate and so has a lot of organisms (such as worms) which mix the soil and leave less defined horizons

Brown Earth

9 of 15

Name the soil which has a blue/grey B horizon

Gley

10 of 15

Name the soil which is present in an area where precipitation is equal to the evaporation rate

Brown Earth

11 of 15

Name the soil which is present in an area where the precipitation is higher than evaporation

Podzol

12 of 15

Name the soil which has a reddish/brown B horizon

Podzol

13 of 15

Name the soil which has lower precipitation than podzol so therefore has less leaching and less chance of an iron pan developing

Brown Earth

14 of 15

Name the soil which has a light brown B horizon

Brown Earth
