Answer to Question 1

Rocks and minerals are solid, inorganic substances. Minerals are chemically uniform. Rocks are aggregates of minerals.
Glacial deposits are piles or layers of material scooped up and moved by glaciers. Loess deposits are left by
the wind, alluvial deposits by moving water. Marine deposits are made up of materials that settle to the bottom of
oceans. Organic deposits are the remains of dead plants and animals



Answer to Question 2

Parent materials are those solid, inorganic, and organic materials underlying the soil from which soil is formed.
