Question

After months of heavy rains, a farmer noticed a steady drop in crop production. Upon testing the farmland, it was found the soil was severely lacking nutrients. Which of the following explains the loss of nutrients from the soil?
Question 2 options:

A) drainage basin

B) water shedding

C) leaching

D) drought

Answer 1

The answer would most likely have to be B because a large amount of water was put into the crops from the rain, which made them lose their nutrients in the soil. The water would have slowly moved all of the nutrients away from the roots, or crops.
