About soils flashcards

GoConqr Original

What soils flashcards cover

The decks cover weathering, soil components, soil formation and classification. Soils asks about soil components and the roles of soils. Weathering focuses on questions about physical weathering, including the effects of temperature, ice and water.

For classification, Soil Science Chapter 3 asks about soil pedons, polygons and categories in US soil taxonomy. Soil Orders includes descriptions of soil profiles, while Soil Studies Glossary Terms brings together terms from horizon to hydraulic conductivity.

How to revise with a deck

Start with Soils if you want questions on components before moving to more specific terminology. Work through a few cards at a time and return to the terms you find difficult. If you want an overview of how ideas connect, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz can offer another way to check your recall.
