Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Which of the following does not affect the soil types found in an environment?
- ○ Climate
- ○ Geology
- ○ Population
- ○ Geomorphology
**Explanation:**
This multiple-choice question is designed to assess understanding of the factors that influence soil formation.
**Options:**
- **Climate**: Includes temperature and precipitation, which directly affect soil formation by influencing weathering and organic activity.
- **Geology**: Refers to the parent rock material that contributes to the mineral content of the soil.
- **Population**: Human population itself does not directly affect soil types, although human activities can lead to changes in soil through agriculture, construction, etc.
- **Geomorphology**: The study of the physical features of the surface of the earth relates to soil formation through slope, elevation, and landforms.
The correct answer is **Population**, as it does not directly influence the intrinsic properties of soil.
