Answer 1

Answer:

A. Pedosphere

Pedosphere

• The pedosphere is the uppermost layer of the Earth and the part of the earth that contains soil, where living things live.

• It is an important sphere that comes into contact with the lithosphere (solid part of the Earth), the hydrosphere (water part), the atmosphere (air part), and the biosphere (part containing living things).
  

Soil is mainly composed of four components

• Solid Matter - This includes minerals (parts of rocks) and organic matter (remains of plants and animals).

• Water - The moisture found in the pores of the soil.

• Air - The air in the pores of the soil.

• Microorganisms - Organisms such as bacteria and fungi that help in chemical reactions in the soil.

• The composition and properties of soil can vary depending on climate, topography, living organisms, parent material, and time.
