The correct answer is: None of the above

Soil formation is affected by many factors that include time, climate (temperature, precipitation), relief, mineral organic materials.

•Precipitation is part of the climatic factors. Precipitation refers to the amount of water (in the form of rain, snow) that a soil gets. Thus, it is one of the most important factor that determinates the formation and characteristics of soil. Precipitation affects both, the amount of erosion and weathering (breakdown of rocks and soil) that occurs.

•Time. It refers to changes of soil as it age. For example, older soils contain more organic matter and are more exposed to moisture and other environmental factors that may change their features.

•Erosion is removal and transportation of material from the Earth’s crust as a consequence of natural processes such as wind or rainfall. Because it includes the removal of the soil it affects its formation.

Answer from: nathancar

The correct answer is option D, none of these

Reason -

There are five essential factors that affect the soil formation namely – Material from which soil is formed, climate, topography, organisms and time. Climatic conditions such as changing weather, rain, extreme wind etc. helps in the disintegration of rock particles into smaller pieces. Time is important as the disintegration of rock for a longer period of time results into finer soil. Also the parent rock’s characteristic forms the basis of character defining of soil produced. Organisms especially the microorganism helps in the biological disintegration of rock and lastly topography also defines the rock type and the soil produced.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
