Geologi dan Mineralogi Tanah

Rock/parent material

Praktikum, 2 Mei 2019

 Soil Factors
• S = f (p, cl, tp, b, t)
• s = soil
• p = parent material
• cl = Climate (water and temperature)
• tp = topography
• b = living things – vegetation/decomposer
• t = time
Rock and Soil parent material
Rock weathering to soil parent

Biological weathering

1. Akar tumbuhan dapat

membelah batuan\
2. Manusia dengan
menggunakan alat2
menghancurkan
batuan
Particle size of soil
 Relative activity of soil particles

soil particles CEC (cmol/kg)

CEC adalah kemampuan tanah mempertukarkan kation (KTK). Semakin

tinggi CEC semakin banyak unsur hara yang bisa ditahan di koloid tanah
sehingga tidak mudah tercuci ke lapisan bawah dalam profil tanah (CEC-
tinggi  lebih kaya unsur hara)
