chewycorn14:jayaram41419:do you know the answer for question 8 of science bklt A. It is about putting some dead leaves in the soil and covering it with black paper around plant A.
question:Which is not a reason for doing this?
I wrote to prevent soil from evaporating or something like that. Because dead leaves will give off rotting smell and the caterpillars will not eat the plant because of the smell... Furthermore, soil don't evaporate.
Please read properly. The option is: To prevent water in the soil from evaporating
So it's (3) and not your answer[/quote]
But will the water in the soil evaporate o.O[/quote]
Yes. Anyways you can also tell it's caterpillar as the black cloth only covers the soil and has nothing to do with the leaves
