The altered volcanic ashes are well-drained, yet hold water for plants, and are easily tilled. Deep volcanic loams are particularly good for pasture growth (there is a large New Zealand dairy industry), horticulture, and maize. Volcanic ash can be considered as a time-release capsule, rich in nutrients.
Q. Which of the following would have the greatest influence on soil formation rainfall cloud cover air pressure wind speed?
High temperatures and rainfall increase the degree of weathering and thus the extent of soil formation. Among the factors influencing soil formation climate has the greatest influence.

Q. What two factors have the greatest influence on soil formation?
The influence of climate is due to basically two factors: temperature and rainfall. Climate indirectly affects soil formation through its influence on organisms as well. High temperatures and rainfall increase the degree of weathering and therefore the extent of soil development.
Q. Which factor is not responsible for soil erosion?
Class 5 Question. This discussion on Which among the following factors is not responsible for soil erosion? a)Ploughing of hill slopesb)Overgrazing by cattiesc)Floodsd)Deforestatione)None of theseCorrect answer is option ‘E’.
Q. What are the factors responsible for soil formation and what is the process called?
Scientists attribute soil formation to the following factors: Parent material, climate, biota (organisms), topography and time. These factors interact to form more than 1,108 different soil series in Minnesota.
Q. How fertile is volcanic soil?
Fertility: When not highly weathered, volcanic soils are typically very fertile soils. However, volcanic soils form strong complexes with phosphorus. When poorly managed, phosphorus can be limiting.
Q. Do volcanoes erupt every 10 years?
Volcanoes usually have a life of many thousands of years. Once a volcano has begun to erupt, it usually takes about ten years before that particular eruption comes to an end. Sometimes the eruption lasts for hundreds of years.
Q. Is Lava a good fertilizer?
Rock minerals are essential for plant growth, but not all rocks are the same. Igneous rocks from volcanoes like basalt have the highest mineral content. This means that powdered volcanic rock can be an ideal garden fertilizer. Once added to your soil, volcanic rock tends to break down faster than other forms of rock.
Q. Does lava rock increase pH?
Re: does lava rock increase ph? I’ve replied to your other post aswell no lava rock won’t raise your ph neither will slate you would need limestone but as you’ve already said your water is hard any way so don’t sweat about the ph.
Q. What grows in lava rock?
Plants in lava rock that work well are Tillandsia, succulents, and some grasses. The larger planters support almost any variety of annuals, riparian plants, and indoor houseplants.
