About what percent of the Earth's surface is covered by soil? |
|
Answer» A typical soil is about 50% solids (45% mineral and 5% organic matter), and 50% voids (or pores) of which half is occupied by water and half by gas. OR Only about 7.5% of the EARTH's surface provides the agricultural soil on which we depend for the world's food supply (Table 1.1), and this fragment competes, sometimes unsuccessfully, with all other needs: HOUSING, cities, schools, hospitals, SHOPPING centres, land fills, etc. PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST |
