❤SOIL CHARACTER AND FORMATION:❤
5⃣factors that determine soil formation:
✴Composition of parent rock:✴
✍it determine the basic characteristics of soil.the inorganic elements and minerals that soil contains will be similar to those contained in the parent rock. for example is sandstone is the parent rock the soil will be sandy.
✴Time of soil formation:✴
✍The nature of the soil also depends on the time period for which parent materials have been exposed to weathering and have supported vegetation. The longer the timer soil has taken to form, the more mature it will be.
✴Topography:✴
✍The third factor influencing soil formation is topography.If the soil is hilly,the soil will be washed down as fast as it forms.Such areas have thin, immature soils.
✴climate:✴
✍ developing soils are influenced most by climate. temperature and moisture influence the rate of physical and chemical weathering and determine the rate of soil formation. Decomposition of organic matter in the soil is also influenced by climate.
✴ living organisms:✴
✍ Organisms such as earthworms are important in a rating the soil as they burrow through it. roots of plants also aerating the soil ,while holding it in place thereby checking soil erosion.

Hey !!
Thanks for the question!!
Here is the answer....
Basically,
Soil is infact a living system as it contains the living organisms like plants, animals, fungi, protozoa, bacteria, etc.
Soil formation occur as a result of a gradual ( slow ) breakingdown of the rocks.
These Rocks are broken down into finer and small particles through many processes including processes like "weathering"and "erosion."
Also, One of the Two main climatic factors responsible for the soil formation are:
1. Rainfall..
2. Temperature..
Climate, too affects the soil formation as it affects the rate of weathering of the parent rocks.
1. Rainfall..
Rainfall helps in maintaining the fertility of soil as excess of rainfall leads to removal of fertile layer i.e. it causes erosion.
2. Temperature..
Temperature affects plant growth ( indirectly ) by affecting water and nutrient.
Decrease in temperature results in a decrease in water and nutrient uptake
I hope my answer helped!!
Thanks
