Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Level or nearly level grounds tend to have deeper soil development as the soil has had more time to develop without being eroded by gravity, wind or water. Steep slopes are prone to soil erosion, and moderately sloping, south-facing hills may have shallow soil due to high evaporation rates and exposure to the sun. The age of geological formations does not necessarily correlate with soil depth.
