Question 2
Your classmate has written several statements about soil. Some of them are correct, and some of them are incorrect.
7. For each statement, decide whether the information is accurate or inaccurate. If the information is accurate, decide where the statement should be placed on the infographic. There may be more than one correct statement for a box.
(4 points)
not correct correct for box A (composition) correct for box B (importance) correct for box C (threats)
forms very quickly
may take thousands of years to form
acts as a filter to remove contaminants from groundwater
supports biodiversity and agriculture
does not support life
made only of rock
made of weathered rock mixed with organic material
erosion and poor land management
Question 3
You and your classmate were curious about the formation of soil and how it relates to the formation of other resources. You found the following short article on a website.
Geological Processes Impact Resource Formation
Geological processes, such as the moving of tectonic plates and the eruption of volcanoes, can impact where resources such as minerals and fossil fuels are formed. Some resources, such as fossil fuels and mineral ore deposits, are formed along plate boundaries but later are moved to new locations as the plates continue to move. Likewise, different types of soil are formed by the geological processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering of different types of rocks occurs when those rocks are broken into smaller pieces, and then the erosion and deposition of the small pieces of weathered rock result in their placement in new areas. The different types of weathered rock mix with different types of organic matter to form soils with different compositions.
8. After reading the short article (above), complete this analysis comparing and contrasting the formation of minerals and fossil fuels with the formation of soil.

The formation of minerals, the formation of fossil fuels, and the formation of soil have an important Response area; all are distributed by Response area processes. However, different processes result in uneven distribution of the resources. Plate Response area can move fossil fuel deposits and mineral ore deposits far from previous plate boundaries, while Response area result in the formation of different soil types in different locations.
Question 4
After reading the website article above, your classmate wonders aloud about the iron ore deposits found along the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern United States. There is no active plate boundary along the Appalachian Mountains, yet iron ore is known to form along plate boundaries. Why are there deposits of iron ore in a place where there isn't a current plate boundary?
9. Explain to your classmate how there can be mineral deposits located far from current plate boundaries.
