Question:

How does climate change affect the soil?

Author: Ánh Đoàn



Answer:

1) -Climate change = extreme weather changes -> Typhoons, Tropical cyclones, etc... -Excessive rainfall -> more pore water pressure -> lower effective soil tension -> instability, dissolution -> collapse --> Landslides, sinkholes,... 2) Climate change = Higher temperature -> more chemical reactions -> thick soil -> less permeability near the top soil layers.
