Question 9
A soil profile is characterized by the presence of a distinct B-horizon. What is the primary process responsible for the formation of this horizon?
A. Weathering and erosion
B. Leaching and illuviation
C. Biological activity
D. Human activity
Question 10
The graph below shows the relationship between population density and economic development. What is the primary conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?
A. There is a positive correlation between population density and economic development.
B. There is a negative correlation between population density and economic development.
C. Population density has no impact on economic development.
D. Economic development has no impact on population density.
