Question

Which of the following activities contributes to the formation of soil

Answer 1

Explanation:

Soil minerals form the basis of soil. They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the processes of weathering and natural erosion. Water, wind, temperature change, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms and pressure differences all help break down parent material.

Answer 2

Scientists attribute soil formation to the following factors:

• Parent material, climate, organisms, topography and time.

• The physical, chemical and biological properties of the different soils can have a big effect on how to best manage them.
