Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
Climate is an important factor in soil formation. Temperature and precipitation influence the speed of weathering of parent materials and thus soil properties such as mineral composition and organic matter content. Temperature directly influences the speed of chemical reactions.
The warmer the temperature, the faster reactions occur. Fluctuations in temperature increase physical weathering of rocks. Precipitation governs water movement in the soil.
Water movement is influenced by the amount of water the soil receives and the amount of evapotranspiration that occurs.
Hope this would help you.
