Question

How is soil formed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil minerals form the basis of soil. They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the processes of weathering and natural erosion. Water, wind, temperature change, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms and pressure differences all help break down parent material.

Soil is formed when large rocks break into Smaller pieces.These pieces further break down into sand and silt.This is carried to different places by running water and wind.All this,however,is a very slow process.It takes thousands of years to form a very thin layer of soil.
