Soil is made of bacteria, organic matter, nitrogen, fungi, crushed rocks, dead plants + animals, minerals, microorganisms, insects, worms, and humus. Soil is important to our live because it grows plants.It makes us food, trees, wood, homes, paper, oxygen, pencils, clothes, cotton, fiber, insolation, foundation, and biofuel. We can support soil by manure, not littering, compost, natural/organic fertilizer, and planting.

The soil is made out of microscopic oganisoms. Micros are vary vary tiny creaters that live in the dirt. Decomposing animals have micros in them because they came from the dirt into the body. For example:Say that a animal died in the forest. The micros go into the body of the decomposing animal

Why soil is important is because without it we would barely have any oxygen and no trees.Soil is in danger because of people carelessly polluting and that harms the soil and critters within it.Another reason why its important there would be no cotton plants which means no clothes.A way to help support it is spread more manure (animal droppings) to fertilize and grow more soil.Soil is also in danger when it collides with chemicals it also harms the critters within.

Soil is made of minerals,crushed rocks and organic matter.Soil is important because without it we wouldn't have food,homes for worms, insects,and animals.It also grows trees for oxygen,wood, and fruit. Also homes, biofuels, clothes.We can plant trees for the oxygen.

Soil is made of organic material. Which was once a living plant, animal's manure and micro organisims. It is also made of crushed rocks and minerals. Soil is important in our lives because you can grow food, trees for oxygen, wood and fruit. It is homes to worms, insects and animals. You can build homes, find biofuels and make clothes. We can protect, promote and/or create healthy soil by composting, fertilizing and planting trees in the soil.

Soil is made of minerals,humus,bacteria,actinomycetes,fungi,and also earthworms.soil is important because when you eat a ripe fruit the soil can grow more fruit or vegetables or more tree's.We can plant more trees/plants.Also less factory's and have more compost for the worms so it can make more dirt

Soil is made of parent material,climate,organic matter,topography,fungi,minerals,humus,living critters,bacteria,earthworms. Soil is important because soil is used to grow food.Soil helps us grow plants (like cotton) to make clothes. We can protect soil by not smoking. we can plant trees and other plants to help the soil. no litering because the worms could eat it and make them sick.

Soil is made out of minerals, decaying plants or animals, and micro organisms. Soil is also made out of bacteria and fungi. Soil is important because it does a lot of deeds like it grows, food and grain, cotton for clothes, and it cleans the air we breathe. It also gives homes for animals, and micros. We can support soil by planting trees, less pollution, and we can make compost. That is my paragraph about soil

Soil is important because it helps trees, fruit and vegetables grow. Those are important to life, giving us shelter and food. We don't usually think about that. But when we do, we realized dirt is very much needed in life. It is in danger because we litter and pollute, making the soil bad. Soil is made of many broken down minerals and such. If you look through it carefully, you can see tiny bits of pearl, quartz, and other rocks and stones.

Soil is made out of crushed rocks, minerals, organic matter, humus, bugs, fungi, and micro life. Soil is important because it lets us grow food. Soil grows plants like trees. If we didn't have trees, we wouldn't have anything that was made out of wood. We need soil to grow cotton which can be used to make clothes. Soil also is home to many animals and insects. Soil helps make bio fuels. A way we can support soil is no littering or pollution. We can use organic compost over chemical fertilizers instead. That is why soil is important!

Soil is made out of rock, minerals, dead plant an animals, micro organizing, mold, worm's, bog's, compost and more. Soil is important in our lives because if there was no soil were will all of the living things go and were will the trees and plants so soil is very important to our lives. We can plant more plant and stop using paper saw we can have more trees and plant so we can have air . And doing composting .And think of this if we work together we can help every one so you can make a change SO WE SHOULD DO IT .

1. Soil is made of millions of microorganisms such as bacteria. 2. Soil is important in are lives because it gives us food, clothes, and homes. Soil gives us trees that make houses, furniture, and oxygen. 3. To create healthy soil we need to decompose dead animals and plants. We can promote soil by stopping littering. We can protect soil by keeping it clean and not wasting it.

Composting is were you have worms and they eat your garbage. Composting is also were you have your worms eat the microbes on the routen food you throw in your garden. And that is what composting is about.

Composting is were we put our banana peels, apple cores, rotten veg / fruits and other food that can break down. Composting can help the soil become strong and healthy. In our garden we have a worm bin and we put compost in to it because the food is good for soil. Compost is good for the plants because it is organic and it is returning the plants food from earth. That is all about composting.

Nitrogen is a Group 15 element. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere by volume but the atmosphere of Mars contains less than 3% nitrogen.When nitrogen is heated, it combines directly with magnesium, lithium, or calcium. When mixed with oxygen and subjected to electric sparks, it forms nitric oxide.Nitrogen is from the atmosphere by bacteria in the roots of certain plants such as clover.

Soil is made up of a mixture of organic material and minerals. The organic matter comes from dead plants and many of the minerals come from the rocks underground. These rocks, which are part of the lithosphere, are referred to as bedrock. Because the plants grow on top of the soil and the rocks are found underground, soil is made up of layers.

Soil is composed of weathered rock and organic matter, water and air. But the hidden "magic" in a healthy soil is the organisms—small animals, worms, insects and microbes—that flourish when the other soil elements are in balance.
