Question

3. Which one of the following is not a factor of soil formation?
(b) Soil texture
(a) Organic matter
(c ) time
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil texture is not a factor which is responsible for the soil formation. Parent material (minerals and nutrients), Time, Climate, Relief and Organisms are the factors which are responsible for the soil formation

Answer 2

Soil texture is not a factor in soil formation. (Option A)

• Soil study has revealed that soil profiles are impacted by five distinct, but interconnected, factors: parent material, weather, topography, microorganisms, and time.
• Soil scientists refer to them as soil formation factors. These elements contribute to the different character of soil profiles.
• Time and organic matter are both important for soil development since the parent material of soil inherits numerous features that aid in soil formation and general weathering controls the thickness of the soil profile with the passage of time.
• As a consequence, option A is the right response.
