A)Warm and humid
B)Hot and dry
C)Cold and dry
D)In areas where they can develop directly from bedrock,regardless of climate conditions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Warm and humid environments provide favorable conditions for the growth of vegetation, decomposition of organic matter, and chemical weathering, all of which contribute to the formation of soils. Hot and dry environments tend to have limited vegetation and little organic matter accumulation, resulting in slow soil development. Cold and dry environments also tend to have limited vegetation and experience little chemical weathering, leading to slow soil formation. Soils can develop directly from bedrock in any climate conditions, but the rate of formation will likely be slower without the influence of biological and chemical processes.
