hello mate!
Definition of weathering:Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.
Two important classifications of weathering processes exist – physical and chemical weathering; each sometimes involves a biological component. Mechanical or physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct contact with atmospheric conditions, such as heat, water, ice and pressure. The second classification, chemical weathering, involves the direct effect of atmospheric chemicals or biologically produced chemicals also known as biological weathering in the breakdown of rocks, soils and minerals.
______________________________
Definition of soil formation:Soil is the thin layer of material covering the earth's surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms—all of which interact slowly yet constantly.

the action of weather on objects exposed to it is known as weathering
when the rocks are exposed at or near the Earth's surface they are decomposed or disintegrated by chemical and mechanical means .
The Rocks break down by the atmospheric agents like temperature changes Frost and moisture.
this process is known as weathering .
soil formation is the most important work done by the Agents of weathering and erosion
soil formation starts with the process of weathering which results into breaking up of rocks into smaller fragments .
a thin layer of soil may take thousands of years to form .
mechanical or physical weathering along with chemical weathering turns the large rocks into smaller fragments .
if weathered material remains in its original place or it is found overlying the parent rocks or the rocks from which it has evolved it makes residual soil .
sometimes Rock fragments are shifted from the original place by agents of gradation and deposited to a low lying area .
the salt formed from such transported material is known as transported soil
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
factors responsible for the formation of soil are
Parent Rock
relief conditions
climate
organic matter
