Answers
Answer:
Scientists attribute soil formation to the following factors: Parent material, climate, biota (organisms), topography and time. ... The physical, chemical and biological properties of the different soils can have a big effect on how to best manage them.
(i) Relief, parent rock or bedrock, climate, vegetation and other forms of life and time are important factors in the formation of soil. (ii) Various forces of nature such as change in temperature, actions of running water, wind and glaciers, activities of decomposers, etc. contribute to the formation of soil
Soil is formed by weathering of rocks. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by the action of air, wind and water. Soil formation is a slow process. It occurs all the time.

Weathering of rocks takes place. Rock is broken down into small particles.
These small particles mix with humus (organic matter) and form soil.
