The sand formed a ball and did not break, but didn’t form a ribbon. The soil’s texture allows for water to pass through fairly easy, while still holding the soil together. Organisms in the area include various plant life, such as grasses, some trees, and flowers. Animals include ants, antlions, lizards, birds, rabbits, and various types of bugs. The vegetation pulls nutrients and water from the sand, and deposit organic material into the soil. I think with the high amounts of wind in my area it is possible for the soil to erode, I don’t think it is likely to erode anytime soon. If it did erode there is plenty of space for it to move to. It’s present wouldn’t affect the surrounding area very much. Soil is important to know because it is the foundation of biomes. The soil along with the amount of precipitation and climate determine what organisms can live in a biome.
