  1. 1. Farming where the provision of food is by farmers for their own families or for the local community - there is no surplus
  2. 2. In hot, dry climates, where Precipitation<Evaporation (P<E), water is evaporating at the soil surface and water from lower soil layers move upwards. When doing so, it dissolves minerals and takes them to the surface, where the minerals are left behind when the water evaporates.
  3. 6. In colder, wetter climates, water flows down in the soil, dissolving minerals and transporting them downwards
