Answer the following question given this paragraph: A soil is a residual soil when it forms in place. Only about one third of the soils in the United States form this way. The material comes from the underlying bedrock. Residual soils form over many years since it takes a long time for solid rock to become soil. First, cracks break up the bedrock. This may happen due to ice wedging. Weathering breaks up the rock even more. Then plants, such as lichens or grasses, become established. They cause further weathering. As more time passes and more layers of material weather, the soil develops. Q: Soil that forms in place over a very long period is called what? Choices: - leakage soil - antique soil - resultant soil - residual soil A:
residual soil
