How is soil formed?
soil is formed from rocks by the process of weathering. In weathering, rocks are broken down very slowly by the action sun's heat, wind, rain, flowing water, etc., to form tiny rock particles. These tiny rock particles then mix up with humus to form fertile soil. The nature of any soil depends on the rocks from which it has been formed and the type of vegetation that grows in it.
