SOIL SCIENCE END TERM EXAM
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS!!
Nutrients of this type of fertilizer are released by soil microbes
Natural Organic
Generally speaking 2:1 clay have 2 Si Octahedral layers to every Al tetrahedral layer
false
about 97% of the world's fresh liquid water is groundwater
false
Anhydrous nitrogen is applied as a gas
true
raises the soil pH
MgCO3
there are environmental concerns with this nutrient due to concerns of concerns of
eutrophication in surface water
Phosphorous
Pink, or brick colored fertilizer granules
Muriate of potash
when ammonium becomes nitrate, four hydrogen ions are released which results in an
increase in soil pH
False
During the production of Milorganite the people of Milwaukee literally grunt and strain
Trus
, The soil clay below that is nonexpanding and is used to make things like ash trays in
pottery class is
Kaolinite
the Al octahedron has 6
oxygen
when a soil solution contains more H ions than OH ions the pH is
<7
what factor has the greater effect on soil loss due to erosion
coverage
natural organic fertilizers are less likely to leach into ground water compared to urea
true
Al3+ is an acid cation because when it hydrolyzes with water it releases 3 H+
true
In order the three elements found in the greatest proportion in the Earth's crust are
O, Si, & Al
In terms of lime (pick the true statement)
size matters
If all 3 primary nutrients expressed in the guaranteed analysis are identical in each granule
of fertilizer the fertilizer is known as
homogeneous
the area that differentiates between a confined and unconfined aquifer is called an
aquiclude
a non-crystalline clay
