Given,
Amount of water = 200 mL
Percolation time = 40min
Rate of percolation = Amount of water in mL / Percolation time in min
=200 / 40
=5 mL/min.
Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 5 mL/min.

- A vertical section through different layers of the soil is called the soil profile. Each layer differs in feel (texture), colour, depth and chemical composition.
- These layers are referred to as horizons.
- The uppermost horizon is generally dark in colour as it is rich in humus and minerals. The humus makes the soil fertile and provides nutrients to growing plants. This layer is generally soft, porous and can retain more water. It is called the topsoil or the A-horizon.
- The next layer has a lesser amount of humus but more of minerals. This layer is generally harder and more compact and is called the B-horizon or the middle layer.
- The third layer is the C-horizon, which is made up of small lumps of rocks with cracks and crevices.

Soil pollution refers to the contamination of soil with anomalous concentrations of toxic substances.
Example: Soil contamination that includes high levels of benzene raises the risk of leukaemia.
Soil pollution can be controlled by the following measures:
- By reducing the use of plastics, we can reduce soil pollution.
- By controlling the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, we can control soil pollution.
- Treating industrial waste before releasing.
Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water. Soil erosion can be controlled by the following measures:
- Plant trees on barren lands to limit erosion of soil.
- Add mulch and rocks to prevent the plants and grass underneath to prevent soil erosion.
- Mulch matting can be used to reduce erosion on the slopes.
- Put a series of fibre logs to prevent any water or soil from washing away.
- A wall at the base of the slope can help in preventing the soil from eroding.
- Every household should have a proper drainage system so that water flows down into proper water collecting systems.

Clayey soil has very small sized particles. These particles are packed tightly and therefore can retain water. Clayey soil is also rich in organic matter. For growing crops such as wheat, gram, and paddy, the soil should be good at retaining water and rich in organic matter is suitable. Therefore, clayey soils having these characteristics are useful for such kind of crops.

A starfish feeds by first extending its stomach out of its mouth and over the digestible parts of its prey, such as mussels and clams. The prey tissue is partially digested externally before the soup-like "chowder" produced is drawn back into its 10 digestive glands. Star fish feeds on aquatic animals covered by hard shells of calcium carbonate . After opening the shell , the star fish pops out its stomach through its mouth to eat the soft animal inside the shell . After eating the animal , the stomach goes back into the body and the food is slowly digested.

How to draw the human respiratory system diagram?
- First, outline the thoracic cavity, neck, and head.
- Draw two rounded, somewhat triangular shapes in the thoracic cavity.
- These represent the lungs.Using lungs as a reference, draw an upside-down Y shape centered at the top quarter of the lungs and leading upward to the neck. This Y shape is the two bronchus trunks and the trachea.
- Continue the sketch of the trachea to the rest of the neck up to the mouth. Curving this structure through the mouth and to the lips will give you the shape of larynx.
- Draw oesophagus parallel to the larynx.
- Draw a flat kidney bean shape following the outline of the base of the lungs.
- Divide the right lung into 3 curved sections and the left lung into 2 curved sections.
- Extend the branching of the bronchus in each lung.
- Draw small grape-like structures attached to these bronchioles to represent the alveoli.

Biological weathering is also known as organic weathering. When the rock decomposes and decays due to the action of plants, animals and humans, it is known as biological weathering.
Biological weathering involves both physical disintegration and decomposition. Many animals like rats and rabbits loosen the soil by making tunnels leading to the weathering of rocks. Human activities like mining, quarrying also results in physical disintegration of rocks.
