Igneous intrusive is rock that cool inside the earth crest.
Igneous extrusive is rock that cool outside on the earth surface.
Sedimentary rock is a new form from other rock.
Physical weathering is breaking down and it small.
Soil are divide into few layer which are O horizon, A horizon, E horizon ,B
horizon, C horizon, and R horizon.
10.Sand cannot hold nutrient.
11.Sandy soil have macro pore.
