It is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical and environmental processes that include weathering and erosion . Soil differs from its parent rock due to interactions between the lithosphere hydrosphere atmosphere , and the biosphere It is a mixture of mineral and organic constituents that are in solid, gaseous and aqueous states. Soil particles pack loosely, forming a soil structure filled with pore spaces. These pores contain soil solution (liquid) and air (gas). Accordingly, soils are often treated as a three

Soil Real Estate Soil Real Estate News and Views Home prices expected to slide another 8% November 1st, 2010 Posted in Real Estate Comments Off Hard Money Lenders For Real Estate Investors November 1st, 2010 Most hard money lenders are usually less concerned about your credit, and more concerned about how much equity is in the property. After all, the property is their collateral, and they will be first in line if anything goes wrong. Hard money lenders often will only lend up to 65% of the after repair value, also called loan to value (LTV). Obviously you will have to negotiate a great deal to meet this qualification. Hard money lenders can often fund your deal in 24 hours. The interest rates can range from 12 to 20 percent. It is not called hard money for nothing! There will probably also be points involved. A point is 1% of the loan. The requirements will vary by lender, so be sure to check around. There will most likely be an application and some other forms to fill out. There are probably several hard money lenders at your local REIA meetings that want to lend you money ! Be sure to join your REIA as soon as possible. You can also find additional hard

Science Education Privacy and Security Notice Soil What Is Soil? Soil is the loose top layer of Earth's surface. Plants depend on soil. It holds them up. It provides them with food and water. Soil is made of fungi humus particles . These very small pieces mostly come from rocks broken down by weathering. Other soil particles come from rotting remains of plants and animals. The part of soil that comes from living things is called loam organic matter texture Soil Life Many small organisms live in soil. They include worms, bacteria, and fungi. Fungi Humus Particles are like plants, but they aren't green. And they have no leaves, flowers, or roots. The organisms feed on dead plants and animals. They cause them to decay loam particles , or break down. The decayed plant and animal matter is called fungi humus loam . Humus makes the soil dark. It provides nutrients plants need to grow. Soil Layers Soil develops in layers. The top layer consists mostly of humus. It is called bedrock subsoil topsoil The next layer down is called bedrock subsoil topsoil . Subsoil contains more rock particles than topsoil and less humus. It is not as good for growing plants. The layer below the subsoil has many pieces of rocks. The pieces get bigger when they are deeper in the ground. Most plants cannot grow in this rocky layer.

Unit 5 - Classifying Soils Using Soil Taxonomy Chapter 2 - The Twelve Soil Orders Each of the world's soils is assigned to one of the twelve orders, largely on the basis of soil properties. The properties are a result of the five soil forming factors acting on the parent material over time. Emphasis for placing a soil into a soil Order is determined by the presence or absence of the diagnostic features. It is interesting to note that other countries may have different classification systems, but most are similar to the system used in the USA. The United Nations FAO Soil Map of the World, uses a different system that has 31 major soil groups. http://www.fao.org/ag/agl/agll/wrb/wrbmaps/htm/soilres.htm A summary of characteristics, a sample profile, and the the diagnostic features present are given for each of the 12 soil orders. Be sure to look at the map for each order to see its location in the U.S.A. US SOILS MAP . You will also need to know where the orders are located in the world. World Soils Map Ent isols : Soils that have little or slight development and properties that reflect their parent material ( ent root from the word recent ). They include soils on steep slopes, flood plains, and sand dunes. They also form on very resistant rock or deep deposits of sand. They occur in many environments. They have an ochric and none diagnostic features. The typical profile sequence would be A, C, or A, Bw, C (where the Bw is not cambic due to being too sandy).

Notes on national soil map legend Introduction This document is designed to accompany the national soil map legend and briefly describes the constituent soil associations of the 1:250 000 (quarter inch to 1 mile) soil map of England and Wales held by Cranfield University. The soil classification, outlined briefly below, is treated more fully in Avery (1980) and in the revised classification of soil series by Clayden and Hollis (1984). The national soil map (or ‘Natmap’) is based on published soil maps which cover a quarter of the land at scales of 1:25 000, 1:63 360 or 1:100 000 and on reconnaissance mapping of previously unsurveyed areas. The legend shows geographic soil associations identified by the most frequently occurring soil series and by combinations of ancillary series. The map units are further identified by number codes and are coloured by dominant soil subgroups (or groups), of which sixty seven are recognised. The numbers of each code indicate the predominant major soil group, group and subgroup Thus, association 651a is dominated by soils of the Belmont series belonging to subgroup 6.51, the
