Next to water and air‚ soil is most essential to our very existence on the earth. Soils are the basis of support for most life‚ and a source of nutrients for marine life and fresh water. As a natural resource‚ soil is of immense value to man. In the agricultural orient the distribution and density of population have conformed to the persisting patterns of soil fertility and productivity. Soil is basically broken-down rock materials and consists of decomposed rock debris and decayed organic

is a tool used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. It has been a basic instrument for most of recorded history‚ and represents one of the major advances in agriculture. The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil‚ bringing fresh nutrients to the surface‚ while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops‚ allowing them to break down. It also aerates the soil‚ and allows it to hold moisture better. In modern use

can reach a new pH level by interacting with soil. If water has a pH that is too high or too low‚ it can be life threatening to aquatic species and can corrode metal structures. After finding this out‚ I decided to test if water could reach an extreme pH just by interacting with soil around it. The question for this experiment therefore became the following. Will interaction with soil change the pH of water? I hypothesized that if water interacts with soil for three days‚ then the pH of the water will
