About this ebook
This book provides a simple and fun introduction to soil, discussing what soil is, how it is made and what we use it for. With the help of some Rock Solid! facts that provide cool examples, the book will show you how amazing soil can be: from making houses with mud bricks and how crops grow in volcanic soil to how tree roots can break up rock.
