Soil is formed by the process of ‘weathering’ of rocks, that is, disintegration and decomposition of rocks and mineral at or near the earth’s surface through the actions of natural or mechanical and chemical agents into smaller grains.
So in general, formation of soil takes place by two methods:
- Physical disintegration of rocks.
- Chemical decomposition of rocks.

Answer:
Soil is the thin layer of material covering the earth's surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms—all of which interact slowly yet constantly.
