1)Climate has two major components for soil formation. The first is the temperature. As the mean annual soil temperature increases, the weathering of the rocks and minerals in the soil will be faster.
2)Organisms include animals living in the soil that contribute to soil development by their mixing activities.
3)Topography as a soil forming factor is related to the soil's position on the landscape elevation, direction and depth to the water table.
4)Parent material refers to the primary material from which the soil is formed. The type of soil that forms depends on the type of rocks available, the minerals in rocks, and how minerals react to temperature, pressure, and erosive forces.
