Soil is an important part of your everyday life. Most of the food you eat depends on soil. It also gives support to many buildings and structures. Soil is under your feet right now—or at least there used to be soil before the structure you are in was built. Why is soil valuable?

Soil is a natural resource.
Everything on land depends on soil, directly or indirectly.
Both of the above.
Moving water is the major agent of the erosion that has shaped Earth’s land surface. As water moves over the land, it carries particles with it. This moving water is called runoff. The amount of runoff in an area depends on five main factors: the amount of rain an area gets, the area’s vegetation, the type of soil, the shape of the land, and how people use the land. Water is the type of erosion that shaped most of Earth's land.

According to the diagram below, the plate boundary that shows the plates moving towards one another is Convergent.
The diagram does not show any specific given images or captions. Therefore, the answer to the second question cannot be determined based on the information provided.
Based on the information provided, the layer that has humus (the organic component of soil) is the A Horizon.
Soil is valuable because it is a natural resource and everything on land depends on soil, directly or indirectly.
The statement that water is the type of erosion that shaped most of Earth's land is False.
According to the diagram, the plate boundary that shows the plates moving towards one another is a Convergent boundary.
The diagram does not provide enough information to determine what it is showing.
According to the diagram, the layer that has humus is the A Horizon.
Soil is valuable because it is a natural resource and everything on land depends on it, directly or indirectly.
The statement "Water is the type of erosion that shaped most of Earth's land" is True.
To determine the answers to these questions, you need to analyze the provided diagram and read the information given in the text. Here is the explanation for each question:
1. According to the diagram below, which plate boundary shows the plates moving towards one another?
To answer this question, you need to analyze the diagram and look for clues that indicate plates moving towards each other. The options given are Transform, Divergent, and Convergent. You should select the option that represents the plate boundary where plates are colliding or moving towards each other.
2. What does this diagram show?
To answer this question, you need to carefully observe the diagram and determine what process it represents. The given options are Abrasion, Frost wedge, and Exfoliation. You should select the option that matches the process or phenomenon illustrated in the diagram.
3. According to this diagram, which layer has humus?
To answer this question, you need to study the diagram and find the layer where humus is present. The options are A Horizon, B Horizon, and C Horizon. You should select the option that represents the layer with humus based on the information provided in the diagram.
4. Why is soil valuable?
To answer this question, you need to read the provided information about soil and its importance. The options are Soil is a natural resource, Everything on land depends on soil (directly or indirectly), and Both of the above. You should select the option that includes all the reasons mentioned in the text about the value and importance of soil.
5. True or False: Water is the type of erosion that shaped most of Earth's land.
To answer this question, you need to evaluate the statement and determine its accuracy based on the given information. You should select either True or False depending on whether the statement is supported by the information provided in the text.
