This report and research was performed to discover the relationship between the temperatures of soil and air and how they affect each other. Throughout our experiments, we noticed very few discrepancies. The air directly affected the soil temperature as its own temperature fell throughout the season. During the founding of our first ideas, we had believed that the air temperature would critically affect the soil temperature. We followed strict and precise procedures to collect our data, surveying similar spots in the ground each time we collected the soil temperature. Our results did indeed confirm said hypothesis. The results stated that the air temperature affected the soil temperature directly. This allowed us to draw conclusions that as the air temperature raised or lowered, the soil temperature would follow similar trends of changing temperatures.
