short note on soil
Soil is the top layer of the earth on which plants and animals grow. It is defined as the layer of re-consolidated particles derived from weathered rock, organic matter (humus), water and air and form the upper surface of the earth and supports plant growth. Soil plays an important role since it produces food materials on which the survival of mankind depends. It is also a vital component of the environmental Biogeochemical cycles.
The formation of soil depends on the parent material (the original material from which soil is derived), the climate and the topography of the area, the organisms present in the soil, and the time in which the soil has been developing
