Question

How does topography affect the composition and formation of soil?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\bf\blue{Hello\:Mates}$

The first topographic factor is steepness of hill and mountain slopes. All soils around the Earth are slowly getting deeper and deeper, as lower levels of dirt are being turned into soil. At the same time, wind and water carry the surface soil away through erosion.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Topography has a significant impact on soil formation as it determines runoff of water, and its orientation affects microclimate which in turn affects vegetation. ... Water moving across the surface strips parent material away impeding soil development. Water erosion is more effective on steeper, unvegetated slopes.
