20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20053 of 26 What is soil? A layer of soil covers much of the Earth’s surface. What is soil made up of? Plants need soil to grow. How does soil support plant growth? Soil supplies plants with water and important nutrients and also helps to anchor roots. weathered rock particles decaying remains of dead plants and animals (called humus) water air living things, including plants and animals such as worms
4.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20054 of 26 How are soils different? Soils in different areas are different. What factors affect the composition and properties of different soils? The weathered rock particles come from different types of rock and can vary in size. The amount of humus can vary depending on the plants and animals that lived in the soil. The amount of water in the soil is affected by the type of rock particles. Clay particles are much smaller than sand. A clay soil is heavier and contains more water than a sandy soil which contains lots of room for air.
5.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20055 of 26 The pH of soil affects the availability of nutrients and plants prefer to grow in soils of a certain pH. pH of different soils Different soils have different pHs. Soils have different pHs because they are made up of different rocks and so contain different chemicals. Why do farmers and gardeners need to check soil pH? For example, strawberries prefer acidic soil and plums prefer alkaline soil.

7.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20057 of 26 Changing soil pH If soil is too acidic to grow certain crops, lime can be added. Lime is a base called calcium oxide. What effect does lime have on the pH of soil?
8.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20058 of 26 Changing soil pH Farmers and gardeners can choose only plants that prefer the pH of their soil. Alternatively, they can add chemicals that change the soil pH to suit the plants they want to grow. If soil is too acidic, lime (calcium oxide) is a base that can be added. The lime neutralizes the acid in the soil and so increases the soil pH. What type of chemical can be added if soil is too alkaline?

20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200510 of 26 How do rocks change? Rocks change over time due to environmental conditions such as temperature and acid rain. The breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments is called weathering. What are the three types of weathering? Physical weathering – due to extremes of temperature which can cause freeze-thaw or onion-skin weathering. Chemical weathering – due to chemical reactions between substances in the rock and acidic rainwater. Biological weathering – due to the actions of plants and animals.

20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200514 of 26 What is acid rain? Normal rainwater has a pH of about 5.6, which means it is naturally slightly acidic. This natural acidity is due to carbon dioxide which dissolves in rainwater and forms carbonic acid, a weak acid. Rainwater with a lower pH than normal is called acid rain. The burning of fossil fuels in power stations and cars forms pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These gases dissolve in rainwater to make sulfuric and nitric acids, which are strong acids and so form acid rain. Why is acid rain a serious environmental problem?

© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200516 of 26 Effects of acid rain Acid rain has many damaging effects on the environment: The strong acids in acid rain speed up the chemical weathering of rocks and buildings. Rivers, lakes and streams become more acidic so that animals and plants cannot live in them. Soil that becomes more acidic has les nutrients so trees and other plants cannot grow. Acid rain also damages trees by breaking down the waxy coating of leaves. What can be done to reduce acid rain and its effects?
17.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200517 of 26 Reducing acid rain Governments are working to reduce the emission of acidic pollutants caused by burning fossil fuels. Sulfur dioxide is formed when coal containing sulfur is burned in power stations. This acidic pollutant can be removed from the gases that are released to the atmosphere. Nitrogen oxides are formed when petrol burns in vehicle engines. A car’s exhaust system can be fitted with a catalytic converter which turns harmful gases into harmless gases. How do these changes help to reduce acid rain?

19.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200519 of 26 The greenhouse effect The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. Certain gases in the atmosphere trap some of the heat given off from Earth. This trapped heat is reflected back to the surface and warms the Earth. The glass in a greenhouse also traps heat inside and so the trapping of heat by the Earth’s atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Without the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect, Earth would be too cold for life to exist!

21.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200521 of 26 Global warming Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas involved the warming of the Earth by the greenhouse effect. Human activity is producing more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. An increase in the amount of greenhouse gases could increase the amount of heat trapped in the atmosphere. Some scientists think that this increased greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer and leading to global warming. What human activities might contribute to global warming?
22.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200522 of 26 Effects of global warming If global warming rises as some scientists predict, it could cause major climate changes: temperature – some areas may be warmer, others colder; coastal flooding – sea levels could rise as ocean’s get warmer; Not all scientists agree about global warming. What evidence is needed to support the theory about global warming? rainfall – some areas may be wetter and others drier; plants – some crops may be able to grow better and others not at all.
