Have you ever tried to dig a hole? If so, you were digging in something
amazing – Soil! Soil is very important to us! Why? Our food comes
from plants grown in soil, our clothes are made with fibers from plants,
our water is cleaned by soil, we breathe oxygen that comes from
plants growing in soil, and almost everything we build is built on soil
and with parts of soil.
But, did you know, soil is not dirt! Dirt is what gets on our clothes or
under our fingernails and isn’t used. Soil has been formed over many
years and has layers, like a cake, made up of rock, minerals, soil, and
decomposing materials (like leaves).
It’s made up of sand, silt and clay and has many different colors,
depending on where you are in the world. Many critters live in the soil,
keeping it healthy and growing. And there are different soils all over
the world from farms to prairies, polar regions to tropical islands, and
wetlands to deserts and forests.
Soil is very important to all of us. We need healthy soil to live healthy
lives. So, be good to your soil!
