Question

explain how soil is formed​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil is formed by the breaking down of rocks by external factors like rain, sunlight and hail, over a long period of time.

Answer 2

Soil is formed through the process of weathering. Weathering is a process of physical breakdown and chemical decomposition of rocks and minerals near or at the surface of the earth. This physical and chemical decomposition is primarily done by wind, water, and climate. As a result of these processes, large rock pieces are converted into smaller pieces and eventually to soil.
