Question

Give one difference between the following:

Transported soil and residual soil.

Answer 1

Transported soil	Residual soil
Transported soil is soil that has moved from its original location due to wind, water, ice, or gravity, and its makeup may differ from the bedrock beneath it.	On the other hand, residual soil forms in place by weathering while remaining above its parent rock and hence, in terms of mineral makeup, it is quite similar to the original rock.
