HEY BUDDY....HERE'S YOUR ANSWER.....

Soils develop because of the weathering of materials on Earth's surface, including the mechanical breakup of rocks, and the chemical weathering of minerals. Soil development is facilitated by the downward percolation of water.

There are a whole range of Physical, Chemical, and Biological weathering processes at work near the surface of the soil, acting together to breakdown rocks and minerals to form soil.

It is a continuous process.

It is a continuous process.As rocks and sediments are eroded away, so more of the solid rock becomes vulnerable in turn to weathering and breakdown. Wind, rain, snow and ice start to have their effects on rocks and sediments. Once the process starts, then other physical, chemical and biological processes also start to contribute to the breakdown of rocks, leading to the formation of soil.

It is from rocks and sediments that soils inherit their particular texture.

It takes over 500 years to form just one centimetre of soil from some of the harder rocks. Huge amounts of rocks were broken down during the Ice Age over 10,000 years ago and converted into clays, sand or gravel, from which soils form.
