Answer:

The loose covering of earth that covers the surface of the planet is referred to as "soil," which is a pretty vague phrase.

Explanation:

The portion of the earth's surface known as the soil contains humus, broken-down rock, and both inorganic and organic components. It takes 500 years or more on average for soil to develop from rocks. Typically, as rocks break up into their component pieces, soil is created. The rocks fracture into smaller pieces to produce the soil when a variety of forces impinge on them. The effects of wind, water, and salts' reaction are also included in these forces. Four categories of soil exist:

Sandy soil

sand soil

Clay soil

Loamy soil

Depending on how long the soil has been weathered, different soil qualities may exist. Rock-derived minerals undergo additional weathering to produce compounds like clays and iron- and aluminum-oxide oxides.
