Process of soil formation.

Soil formation Soil is formed by breaking down of rocks. This process is called weathering. The weathering may be physical, chemical ar biological. It takes thousands of years to form soil from  rocks. The river or glaciers sweep away rocks, small stones, sands, dead bodies of plants and animals. These substances collide with each other on their way and break into small particles. This process continues and soil is formed. During day time, rocks get heated and get expanded. At night, the rocks get cooled and contracted. Continuous expand and contraction causes the breaking of rocks into smaller particles. The two processes explained above are the physical weathering. Rocks break into smaller particles by chemical changes. During rainy season acid rain occurs. The acid decomposes the rocks into smaller particles. Sometimes water enters into the small crevices of the rocks. When the temperature becomes too low, the water freezes and converts into ice. The ic...

Albert Einstein Born:  14 March 1879, Ulm, Germany Died:  18 April 1955, Princeton, NJ, USA Affiliation at the time of the award:  Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut (now Max-Planck-Institut) für Physik, Berlin, Germany Prize motivation:  "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" Field:  theoretical physics Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1922. Prize share:  1/1 Life Albert Einstein grew up in Munich, where his father founded an electrical engineering company. After studying at the ETH university in Zurich, Einstein worked at the patent office in Bern, during which time he produced several pioneering works in the field of physics. He was later employed at universities in Bern, Zurich, and Prague, and from 1914, in Berlin. After the Nazis seized power in Germany, Einstein immigrated to the US, where he worked at the Institute for Advanced St...

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates is a family of organic molecules  (hydrates of carbon) with the general molecular formula  (CH 2 O) x , ranging from simple sugars such as glucose and fructose to complex molecules such as starch and cellulose. All complex carbohydrates are built up from simple unit called monosaccharide which can not be hydrolysed to simpler structure. The types of carbohydrates are described in detailed under their own heading. Name Type Structure Location Glucose Reducing monosacch C 6 H 12 O 6 (hexose) Sweet fruits Fructose Reducing monosacch C 6 H 12 O 6 (hexose) Honey, fruits juice Lactose Reducing disacch Glucose +galactose Milk Maltose Reducing disacch Glucose +glucose Germinating grains Sucrose Non-R disacch Glucose +fructose Sugar cane Starch Polysaccharides Repeated glucose unit (linear ) Potato tuber Glycogen Non-R polysacch Repeated glucose unit  (branched) Live...
