There are many different natural resources found in Europe. These include wood, soil, water, fish, natural gas, coal, and iron. The resource of fish and water can be found in the Mediterranean Sea. Water is an abundant resource in Europe because there are so many bodies of water in/near Europe.

EU agricultural production is dominated by livestock products (including dairy), grains, vegetables, wine, fruits, and sugar. Major export commodities include grains (wheat and barley), dairy products, poultry, pork, fruit, vegetables, olive oil, and wine.

Europe produces over 100 million tons of 5 different food commodities: wheat, milk, sugar beets, corn and potatoes. Pork is the most produced animal protein in Europe followed by chicken and beef.

Humus is dark, organic material that forms in soil when plant and animal matter decays. When plants drop leaves, twigs, and other material to the ground, it piles up.

Desert soils

arid soil

Humus is partially decayed organic matter. It makes the soil porous, thereby, increasing its air and water holding capacity. It is rich in nutrients that promote plant growth. Being black, it absorbs heat to warm up the soil.

Humus has no role in destroying or killing the harmful bacteria present in soil.

Humus (or humous) is the organic matter in the soil. It is made of dead parts of plants and animals. Humus takes in water and has plenty of nutrients.

Humus is a dark-coloured organic matter formed by the decomposition of plant and animal remains present in the soil. It holds the topsoil in place. It absorbs and holds the water useful for growing plants. Humus is rich in minerals; hence, it provides optimum conditions for plant growth.

The particles of clayey soil are very compact. Clayey soil hence has the highest water holding capacity. (i) Soil provides home to all kinds of living organisms. (ii) The uppermost layer is generally dark in colour as it is rich in humus and minerals.

Do you see bubbles coming out from soil? These bubbles indicate the presence of air in the soil. When the water is poured on the lump of soil, it displaces the air which is seen in the form of bubbles. The organisms that live inside the soil and the plant roots respire in this air.

Loosening the soil allows the roots of crops to penetrate deep into the soil and allows the roots to breathe easily.

A plough or plow (US; both /plaʊ/) is a farm tool for loosening or turning the soil before sowing seed or planting. The prime purpose of ploughing is to turn over the uppermost soil, so bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds and crop remains to decay.
