1.  Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Factors are:

•  rock strength            
• mineral and chemical composition.
• Climatic condition

2. The soil is formed by weathering or disintegration of parent rocks by physical, chemical and biological agents. It is a slow process and takes thousands of years. 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. Living organisms such as lichens, insects, microorganisms make soil ready for the plants to grow. The growth of roots of plants further adds to the weathering of rocks and thus forms soil.

3. Major types of soil  found in India are:

• Alluvial soils

• Mountain soils

• Desert soils

• Black soils

4. ...

5. Soil conservation is key to environmental sustainability: It helps protect natural resources and watersheds, restores habitats for plants and wildlife, improves water quality, and makes soil healthier. Soil conservation also creates economic opportunity. So, Soil conservation is important.

 The methods of soil conservation are:

• Afforestation
