List the factors responsible for soil formation......Please follow me guys and mark my answers as brainlist.... ✌️✌️✌️​

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\blue{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

The following are the factors responsible for soil formation:

1. Relief, origin rock, weather, vegetation and other modes of life and time are critical factors in soil formation.

2. Many forces of nature such as the fluctuation in temperature, movements of flowing water, wind and icecaps, actions of decomposers, etc. also contribute to the formation of loam.

3. Biochemical and natural changes which take place in the loam are correspondingly significant.

4. The organic material (humus) and artificial substances are also found in soil.

Factors Responsible For

Soil Formation:-

$\bigstar$ Climate

It is one of the important factors in the formation of soil because it affects the rate of weathering of the parent rock.

$\bigstar$ Role of precipitation

The variability in the precipitation modified the composition of the soil. For Example- Areas with little rainfall with high rate of evaporation led to the accumulation of salts in the soil. The soils underlying tropical rain forests tend to be nutrient-poor because of intensive leaching due to heavy rains.

$\bigstar$ Role of temperature

It is also play important role because fluctuations in temperature causes shrinking and swelling, frost action and general weathering in soils.

$\bigstar$ Biota (Flora, Fauna and Microorganisms)

Biota, in conjunction with climate, modifies parent material to produce soil. For Example- Leguminous plants ( have nitrogen-fixing bacteria. . It improves the fertility of soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia or ammonium.

$\bigstar$ Topography (Relief, Altitude and Slope)

It is considered as passive factor to modifying the effects of climate because it affects soil processes, soil distribution and the type of vegetation.

$\bigstar$ Time

The formation of the soil is not one day process but requires many years to form.
