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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soil is formed by weathering of rocks. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by the action of air, wind and water. Rock is broken down into small particles. These small particles mix with humus (organic matter) and form soil.
