Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Moisture conditions affect the development and character of soils, both by affecting plant growth and through chemical and physical weathering. Chemical activity and biological activity are both related to temperature, as well. The movement of water through soil also affects the structure and characteristics of soils by transporting soil material.
