Answer:

Soil particles are classified by size. The size of the soil particle gives texture to the soil and determines the amount of air and moisture that exists in the soil. The different particle sizes can also hold different amounts of nutrients within the soil. The ability of different soil textures to absorb and drain water is also determined by particle size.

Explanation:

Rocks turn into soil through the process of weathering. Weathering is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces. Physical weathering occurs when natural forces, such as water or wind, physically break apart the rock without chemically changing it. Over time a large rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually turning into soil. Chemical weathering occurs when water gets inside of a rock and reacts with some of the mineral components of the rock, chemically changing them and weakening the rock's structure. This causes the rock as a whole to break down, and over time chemical weathering can break a rock into small enough pieces to become soil. Once the rock is in very tiny pieces, it mixes together with organic and other inorganic elements to form the soil we are familiar with.
