Hey,

The soil is formed by weathering, wearing away and breaking down of rocks into fine particles. Soils are formed from rocks.

At Stage One ,This is the rock pulverizing stage. Here the forces of wind, rain, freezing and thawing water, earthquakes, volcanos all work to slowly pulverize rocks into smaller partcles that can make up a soil.

At Stage Two ,This is the early stage of what we might call soil. Here we add some life, specifically lichens.

At Stage Three ,At this time the little pockets of soil have formed to the extent that some larger plants, plants with roots can have a go at growing.

At final stage, The soils are developed enough to support thick vegetation.

factors responsible for soil erosion:

Human factors:deforestation , overgrazing, and mining.

Natural factor: wind, glacier and water.

Other factors: Ploughing in a wrong way and defective methods of farming.

Answer:

Soil is formed through the process of weathering. Weathering is a process of physical breakdown and chemical decomposition of rocks and minerals near or at the surface of the earth. This physical and chemical decomposition is primarily done by wind, water, and climate. As a result of these processes, large rock pieces are converted into smaller pieces and eventually to soil.
