Write a hypothesis for Section 2 of the lab, which is about the effect of the angle of insolation on the amount of heat a material absorbs. Use the format "if . . . then . . . because . . ." and be sure to answer this part of the lesson question: "What factors influence the absorption of sunlight at Earth's surface?"

THE ANSWER IS IN THE COMMENTS!!!

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

the most common type of reef is the fringing reef. this type of reef grows seaward directly from the shore. they form borders along the shoreline and surrounding islands.
