How is soil formed ?
Answers
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
Explanation:
Answer:
Soil formation is a process strongly driven by the boundary conditions for the soil system. One of the key conditions (e.g., initial state in eqn [1]) is the physical configuration of the landscape, which dictates the nature of the ‘geomorphic surface’: the atmosphere/land boundary. From a physical perspective, landscapes can be stable, erosional, or depositional. While physical erosion or deposition can be driven by wind and other processes, slope-driven transport dominates many soil-mantled landscapes.
