Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the measure of a soils acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 1 to 14; 1 to 6 indicates an acid, 7 is neutral, and 8 to 14 indicates a base
A
Hardiness
B
high tunnels
C
cold frame
D
pH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anything below 7.0 is acidic, and anything above 7.0 is alkaline, or basic. pH scale, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic/alkaline) and listing the pH values of common substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pH test measures soil acidity or alkalinity. A pH 7.0 is considered neutral. An acid soil has a pH value below 7.0. Above pH 7.0 the soil is alkaline.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soil pH is measured on a simple scale that ranges from 0 to 14. The midpoint, pH 7, denotes a neutral soil, which is neither acid or alkaline. Anything below pH 7 is acidic (or ericaceous), and the lower the pH number, the more acidic the soil is.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pH scale measures how acidic an object is. Objects that are not very acidic are called basic. The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic). As you can see from the pH scale above, pure water has a pH value of 7.
