Question

Why do different places have different types of soil?

Answer 1

Soil scientists describe soil as a natural body that forms as the result of five factors: Climate, Organisms (plants, animals, and microorganisms), Relief (shape of the landscape), Parent materials, and Time. ... Temperature and precipitation are the main climate factors that make soils different from one another.

Answer 2

There are numerous reasons why soils differ regionally. The most influential factors include the parent material (the rocks from which the soil has come), the climate and terrain of the region, as well as the type of plant life and vegetation present, and, of course, human influence.
