• Climate : Rainfall and temperature influence rate of humans and weathering .
• Organisation : i.e :- Microorganisms and vegetation affect the rate of humus formation.
• Relief : Altitude and slope determine the accumulation of Soil.
• Parent Rock : It determines , colour, texture, chemical properties, mineral centent and permeability of Soil.
• Time : It determines thickness of Soil profile
