Crust: 地壳 an extremely thin, less dense, solid covering over the underlying (下伏的) mantle. b. Mantle: 地幔 a layer that makes up the majority of the Earth and surrounds a small core made up primarily of iron (an inner solid portion and an outer portion that is capable of flow). Lithosphere 岩石圈 is made up of crust and outer mantle. c. Core: 地核 central part of the planet earth. The Earth is unstable with several events we can recognize happening: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and windstorms changing the surface of places we live. The changing processes of the Earth: building and tearing down (拆毁、拆卸). ●One theory about the processes: Plate tectonics (板块构造理论): (见 figure13.2 p290) 1.The composition of the plate: The outer surface of the Earth consists of large plates composed of the crust and the outer portion of the mantle and that these plates are slowly moving over the surface of the liquid outer mantle. 地球表面是由大的板块组成,这些板块由地壳和外层地幔构成,这些板块在内层地幔即 液层地幔的外表面上慢慢滑动。 2.Forces of plates’ movements: Heat from the Earth 3.The movements of the plates are independent of each other. 4.The movements includes: A. Building movements: a. Pulling apart (撕开、扯断) from one another: 第 2 页 The liquid mantle moves upward to fill the gap and solidifies where the new crust is formed. (The bottom of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Rift Valley and Red Sea area of Africa) Rift Valley (大裂谷): depression southwest Asia & east Africa extending with several breaks from valley of Jordan River south to central Mozambique b. Colliding (碰撞): (a)One of the plates slides (滑动) under the other and is melted, while some of the liquid mantle goes up to the surface where the volcanoes are formed. This results in the formation of mountains. (The west coasts of North and South America) (b)When the collision occurs under the ocean, the volcanic islands are formed. (Aleutian Islands, many of the Caribbean Islands) (c)When two continental plates collide,neither plate slides under the other and the crust buckles(变形) to form mountains. (the Himalayan, Alp,and Appalachian mountain ranges) The characters of building movements: c. Associated with earthquakes d. Damageable for humans B. Tearing down processes: Weathering processes (breakdown of parent material): a. Mechanical weathering processes:(见 figure13.3 p291) Caused by physical forces: Changes in temperature Repeat freezing of water and thawing (融化) of ice Forces that move and rub (摩擦) rock particles against each other (glacier, wind and moving water) Exposure of new surfaces caused by wind and moving water (Painted Desert in the Southwest of United States) Action of plants and animals b. Chemical weathering processes: (oxidization and hydrolysis) c. Erosion: The process of loosening and redistributing 重新分配 particles.侵蚀 13.2 Soil and Land (p291) Geological processes include those of land and soil. Soil and land are not the same. Land is the part of the world not covered by the oceans. Soil is a thin covering over the land consisting of a mixture of minerals, organic material, living organisms, air, and water. There are many kinds of soil. A typical, “good” agricultural soil is about 45 percent mineral, 25 percent air, 25 percent water, and 5 percent organic matter.(见 figure13.5 p291) To understand how soil can be protected, we must first understand its properties 性质 and how it is formed. 13.3 Soil Formation (p292) A combination of physical, chemical, and biological events acting over time is responsible for (是造成…的 原因) the formation of soil. 1.First step: Fragmentation (破碎作用) of the parent material 2.Factors in the formation of soil: a. The size and chemical nature of the particles b. Plants and animals: (a)Organisms: Decomposition of dead organisms provides acids causing further fragmentation. 第 3 页 (b)Humus: An important soil component and contains nutrients, enhances the water-holding ability and the acidity of the soil, sticks other soil particles and help to create a loose soil for keeping more water and air (c)Burrowing 会打洞的 animals: Such as earthworm, nematodes, mites, pill bugs, and tiny insects, they mix the organic and inorganic material providing more nutrients for plants and add more organic material to the soil by collecting dead organic from the surface. (d)Soil bacteria 细菌 ,fungi 真菌: They enhance the quality of the soil by breaking down the organic material to smaller particles and releasing nutrients. (e)The roots of plants: Its dead and decay provide more nutrients to the soil and more space for air and water. a. Slope: Steep slopes do no good for soil formation because the materials tend to be moved downslope by wind and water. b. Climate: Humid and warm climates are good because they accumulate more organic materials and the chemical weathering process is slow. c. Time: Anyway the time for soil formation is long (15-hundreds years) d. The amount of rainfall 降雨量 and the organic matter influence the PH of the soil. High rainfall and more organic materials can enhance the acidity of the soil. The appropriate PH for plants is 6-7. Lime and Sulfates can be used to adjust the PH of the soil to desired level for specific plants. 13.4 Soil Properties (p292) Soil properties include soil texture, structure, atmosphere, moisture, biotic (生物的生命的) content, and chemical composition. 1.Soil texture: 土壤结构 Categories of soil particles according to their size: Gravel (砾): Diameter > 2.0 millimeters Sand: Diameter between 0.05 and 2.0 millimeters Silt: Diameter between 0.002 and 0.05 millimeters Clay: Diameter < 0.002 millimeters Soil consists of different kinds of particles. Texture depends on the percentage of clay, silt, and sand, see figure 13.6 p293 A best soil for agricultural use is a loam (壤土) which contains both the good aeration (透气性) and drainage properties of large particles and the good nutrient-retention (保持保留) and water-holding ability of clay particles. 2.Soil structure: 土壤构造 a. It refers to the way various soil particles clump together in a specific kind of soil.指特定类型土壤的 各种颗粒结合的方式 For examples: Sandy soil-granular (颗粒状的) structure; Clay soil-large aggregates; Mixture (混合)-smaller aggregates (集 合体) b. A good soil for agricultural use is friable (易碎的) which means crumble easily(易碎的)and has spaces for air and water. Factors that decide whether the soil is friable: soil structure and moisture (水分温度) content. Sandy soils are friable. In good soil, about one-half to two-thirds of the spaces contain air after the excess water has drained. The relationship between the air and water is not fixed and both are important in determining the numbers and kinds of the soil organism. 第 4 页 Soil organisms: a) Protozoa (原生动物): Parasites (寄生动物) and Predators (捕食者) on the others and regulating the populations of those organisms. b) Nematodes(线虫类): Wireworms or roundworms breakdown the dead organic matter.线虫或蛔虫分 解死的有机物 Some are parasitic(寄生) on the roots of plants. c) Insects and other soil arthropods(节肢动物): Burrowing(打洞), consuming and fragmenting organic materials of these organisms are helpful but they are also crop pests that feed on plant roots. d) Algae(海藻): They carry on photosynthesis(光合作用) and are consumed by other organisms. e) Bacteria and fungi: They change complex organic materials to simple ones which are suitable for plant uses such as nitrogen-fix process. c. The soil contains a complicated food chain in which all organisms are subject to the being consumed by others. 13.5 Soil Profile (p294) Concept: Distinct horizontal layers in the soil that differ in chemical composition, physical properties, particle size, and amount of organic matter. Each recognizable layer is known as a horizon. Composition: 1. The top layer: (见 fig.13.9 p295) a) A horizon(A 层), or topsoil(表土层)which consists of small mineral particles mixed with organic matter. The thickness is small on steep slopes and big on rich grasslands. There are most living organisms and nutrients. b) O horizon: There is a layer of litter (undecomposed or partially decomposed organic matter 未被分 解的和部分分解的有机物质)on the surface. It usually exists in the forests. c) E horizon: Lighter-colored layer containing few nutrients which is caused by the removing of darker minerals such as iron compounds of leaching process and is not always developed in all soils. Leaching process happens in this horizon: water carries dissolved organic material and minerals to lower layers. 2. B horizon or subsoil (底土): With less organic material and fewer organisms but more suspended nutrients. Support a well-developed root system Rainfall is main factor decide the quality of this horizon: grasslands soils with poorly developed B horizon, woodlands soils with well-developed B horizon. 3. C horizon: Consists of weathered parent material(被风化的原始物质) With no organic materials The chemical composition of the minerals of this horizon affects the PH of the soil(两种影响的情况: 原始物质是石灰石 limestone 会中和酸,若是花岗岩 granite 则不能中和酸) The characteristics of the parent materials affect the soil’s rate of water absorption and retention. 4. R horizon: Bedrock(基岩)on which C horizon rests Factors affect the soil profile: difference of vegetation, climate (the cold wet and the hot humid climates tend to have poorly developed soil horizons. Classification of soils according to different soil profiles and soil development factors: a. Grassland soils: thin topsoil and subsoil, when the plants die and the roots rot, a deep layer of topsoil develops. 第 5 页 b. Forest soils: clay is accumulated here. This limits the growth of roots and prevents water from reaching the soil’s deeper layers. c. Desert soils: very poorly developed horizons 13.6 Soil Erosion 土壤侵蚀(p297) 1. Concept: Erosion is the wearing away and transportation of soil by water, wind, or ice. 2. Conditions accelerating the erosion rate: a. Agricultural practices that leave the soil exposed b. Disappearing of vegetation: deforestation and desertification (wind erosion leaves a degraded area, bury and kill vegetation, and fill drainage and irrigation ditches. Water erosion will also pollute the runoff by the chemical pesticides and fertilizers remained in the water-carried particles.) c. Wind is an important mover of soil. It may not be as evident as water erosion, since it does not leave gullies (冲沟). Wind erosion is most common in dry, treeless areas where the soil is exposed. 3. Future trend: 前景 Worldwide, erosion removes about 25.4 billion tones of soil each year. Fortunately, many soil conservation practices have been instituted that protect soil. Traditional labor-intensive, small-scale soil conservation efforts combines maintenance of shrubs and trees with crop growing and cattle grazing 第 6 页
