Final Exam Questions

Hi Maja,

While studying the discussion question, im wondering how specific should we be when providing examples for the 4 soil formation process?

For example, as losses, is "calcium carbonate can be removed in the soil profile" specific enough, or should we be more specific: " Calcium carbonate in a soil layer dissolves in water that is percolating through the soil. The water flows deeper into groundwater and eventually enters a stream" ?

Thanks!

"calcium carbonate can be removed in the soil profile" is not finished or complete. Removal of salts (carbonates) can occur in several ways. Hence, your 2nd version is much better.
