Question

Explain the role of minerals in soil formation?​

Answer 1

$\pink{\huge{\underline{\underline{♡Answer♡}}}}$

Soil minerals serve as both sources and sinks of essential plant nutrients. As primary minerals that originally formed at high temperatures and pressures in igneous and metamorphic rocks are weathered in soils, they release plant nutrients into the soil solution.Now one of the most important functions of minerals in soil is the assistance it provides to plant life. Plants need a number of minerals for a healthy life and growth. These minerals are absorbed from the soil via the roots of the plants and trees. The two most important a plant needs are nitrate and magnesium.
