Soil

Real World Example

Imagine trying to make a perfect smoothie with a mix of fruits, yogurt, and a bit of honey. Just like this smoothie relies on the right blend of ingredients to be nutritious and delicious, soil is a mixture of rock particles, minerals, and organic matter that sustains plant life. In the same way that the balance of fruits and yogurt impacts the texture and taste of your smoothie, the composition of soil components determines its fertility and ability to support life.
