Answer 2

The rate of soil development in tropical areas is usually greater than in arctic areas because tropical areas have more chemical weathering and an abundance of living organisms (Option D).

• The soil may contain many different types of living organisms, which include among others, badgers, gophers, and bacteria.

• It is well known that tropical moist forests have the highest levels of biodiversity on Earth.

• Moreover, weathering refers to the breaking down and/or disintegration of rocks on the Earth's surface.

• In a tropical environment, intense weathering is caused by abundant rainfall and warm temperatures.

• In consequence, the rate of soil development is faster in warm, moist tropical climates and slowest in cold/arid climatic conditions.

In conclusion, the rate of soil development in tropical areas is usually greater than in arctic areas because tropical areas have more chemical weathering and an abundance of living organisms (Option D).
