- The topmost layer of the earth is known as soil.
- The process by which soil is formed is called weathering.
- Weathering takes millions of years.
- Weathering is done when the natural forces such as wind ,water ,ice temperature etc act upon rocks and break them down into smaller particles.
- Soil consists of humus ,minerals , sand ,silt ,gravel ,clay ,rocks etc.
