Question

explain five factors that affect the soil formation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soils are formed through the interaction of five major factors: time, climate, parent material, topography and relief, and organisms. The relative influence of each factor varies from place to place, but the combination of all five factors normally determines the kind of soil developing in any given place.

Answer 2

Factors that affect soil formation are:

1. Patent Rock : determines the colour, texture and mineral content of the soil.

2. Climate : determines rate of weathering.

3. Organic Matter : affects the rate of humus formation.

4. Topography : determines accumulation of soil.

5. Time : determines the thickness of time.
