What is pore space?
dark, organic material formed in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals
The granite must be broken down into smaller pieces by weathering processes.
a loose mixture of rock fragments/minerals, organic matter/material, water, and air that can support the growth of vegetation
Organic materials speed up bedrock disintegration.
hillside
spaces between soil particles through which water and air can move
They add organic material to the soil by breaking down the remains of plants and animals.
Bedrock begins to disintegrate/break down.

What is the second stage in the development of soil?
dark, organic material formed in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals
