Question

Explain how soil is formed? In short.

Answer 1

Hey friend,
The big boulders and rocks from the mountains and other elevated areas break down into small pieces due to weathering and form a thin layer of soil.
Hope this helps..

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
