Triway Case Study

For at least one hundred miles inland, flat land and swamps were all around. Stated in Document B “It is remarkable for the diversity of its soil; that near the coast is generally sandy, but not therefore unfruitful; in other parts there is clay, loam, and marl; I have seen of the soil some high bluffs, near the sides of the rivers, that exactly resembles castile soap, and is not less variegated with red and blue veins, nor less clammy.” Basically, this quote is saying that near the swamps it was harder to grow their crops because of the different types of soil, like clay for example. Also back then it would be harder to identify the different kinds of

The town of Putney is situated in the south eastern corner of Vermont, in the Connecticut River Valley. Although the town occupies just 26.8 square miles, the diversity of its soils is remarkable. The variation of Putney’s soils has led to a wide range of land uses depending on the soil type, and its position on the landscape. By exploring the factors that contributed to the formation of Putney’s soils, and by discussing the characteristics of those soils, this paper will explain the significance of the town’s land use.

The state of Texas is home to over a variety of different types of soil. There are over 1,300 different kinds of soil in Texas alone. Due to the fact that most of our land is used for farming, our soil is one of the most important resources. Texas is known for its diverse climate and landscape, so each part of the state has a particular soil to mirror what is needed. Texas has over twenty one divisions of major land reasource areas that have similar or related uses. Here are some examples of the different types of soils.

The types of soils found in the state of Texas vary over a wide range. Research done by the Natural Resources Conservation service indicated that there are approximately over 1300 different types of soils that can be located in the State of Texas. All of these soil types each play a different role in how it affects the foundation of structures. However, this wide range of soil types, has been shrunk down to fit into nine groups of Taxonomy to help make it easier for identification and research (Vepraskas et al., 26). In this essay, I shall discuss the different types of soils that can be located in Texas according to their respective taxonomic group.

The soil is mostly known in Wisconsin for the characteristics of being productive, well-drained, and a soil with a

I watched a Ted Talk on YouTube called Ted x Huntsville, it was presented by Karen Wynne and was published October 1st, 2014. The topic that Wynne talked about was the concept of stopping treating soil like dirt. She started by stating a quote by Leonardo Da Vinci that said: “We know more about the celestial bodies than the soil under our feet”. This was an interesting way of introducing her talk since after saying we near nothing about earth she begun to tell us the difference between soil and dirt introducing the topic at hand. For soil she gave the basic definition that it was a mixture of sand, silt, and clay plus air holes, water, and organic matter and as for dirt she just simply washed her hands on her shirt as if it was nothing after playing with the soil. So, already she was hands on and showed that we humans don’t really care about our soil.

A full time educator, Torguson works during the summer for the Medford Opportunity Program. An in-house school for at risk youth in Medford, Oregon. As he was to work with students studying biology, Torguson decided to do more than just have the students plant seeds and watch them grow while making note of environmental conditions. A social studies professional, Torguson designed curricula around history and geography as well as science. A major component was to reach out to “famous” places around the country asking for “dirt” samples.

Did you know that soil makes up the outermost layer of our planet? Texas is home to more than 1,000 different kinds of soil which are classified into 9 soil orders. Out of the 1,000 types of soil only 6% are able to sustain crop life. In South Texas the most common type of soil is sandy loom soil which is classified as a molliols. Sandy loom soil

You are getting hands on experience working with farmers and helping with conservation practices. When you go on a farm and take soil samples for a farmer or check out a waste management units or cross fencing, you are getting to see how a farmer is trying to keep waste area to a minimum or increase the ton per acre for forage, even how they are trying to increase the amount of nutrients for their amount.
