How can the type of bedrock under soil affect the characteristics of the soil? * by absorbing water
by making the soil more fertile
by weathering and becoming new parent material
by providing surface area for nutrient accumulation

by weathering and becoming new parent material

Explanation:

Soil formation occurs as a result of the the decay or the remains of plants and animals which are used up.

Weathering can be defined as the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces called sediment. Weathering can be classified into two categories namely;

I. Physical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces without affecting its chemical composition e.g temperature, abrasion and frost action.

II. Chemical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces by chemical action which leads to changes in its chemical composition e.g carbonation, hydration, plant acid and oxidation.

Hence, the type of bedrock under a soil affect the characteristics of the soil by weathering and becoming new parent material i.e the contribution of small rock particle to the soil.

italy's population growth rate is almost at zero, the national statistics agency, istat, said on monday, mainly due to a dwindling birth rate.

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
