Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Level or nearly level grounds are likely to have the deepest soil development because water and nutrients can accumulate and stay in place for a longer period of time, allowing for more biological activity and organic matter accumulation. Steep slopes and moderately sloping hills are more prone to erosion and soil loss, while older geological formations may have less organic matter and biologically active soil due to their age. Biologically productive areas could have deep soil development, but this is not necessarily related to slope or aspect.
