Question

select all that apply
select the terms that could correctly complete the sentence: soils that contain______allow more water to enter the ground.
clumps of dirt
trees
grasses
no plants

Explanation:

• Trees: Their root systems create channels and pores in the soil, facilitating water infiltration.
• Grasses: Their fibrous root systems also enhance soil structure, allowing more water to enter the ground.
• Clumps of dirt: Compacted soil (as in clumps) reduces porosity and water - holding capacity, so it does not allow more water to enter.
• No plants: Without plant roots, the soil structure is less stable, and there are fewer channels for water to infiltrate compared to soil with plants.

Answer:

trees, grasses
