Parent material affects soil fertility in many ways. First, the type of parent material determines which minerals (link to mineralogy) will predominate in the soil. ... When parent rock material is exposed to the atmosphere or when organic matter and/or minerals are deposited on the earth's surface, soil formation begins.

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.
Parent material is the organic and inorganic material from which soil is formed. Climate factors, such as temperature and wind, affect soil formation and its characteristics; the presence of moisture and nutrients is also needed to form a quality soil. ... Soil formation takes place over long periods of time.
