Temperature and rainfall are the two main climatic factors responsible for soil formation. Consequently soils display a wide variety of physical and chemical characteristics. In India, soil formation is mainly related to the parent rock material, surface relief, climate and natural vegetation.

Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
Most important factors responsible for soil formation are-
•Climate
Climate is very important factor in soil formation. Most important climatic factors affecting soil formation are the amount and seasonal distribution of temperature and rainfall.
•Parent Material
The material for soil formation is mainly derived from the rocks and is termed as the parent material by soil scientists. The parent material determines the colouration of the soil, its mineral composition and texture.
•Relief
Relief influences the process of soil formation in many ways, the most important being the slope of land. Steep slope encourages the swift flow of water and hinders the process of soil formation.
•Natural Vegetation
Natural vegetation reflects the combined effects of relief and climate. The formation and development of soil is very much influenced by the growth of vegetation. The decayed leaf material adds much needed humus to soil thereby increasing its fertility. The densely forested areas contain some of the best soils in India.
Hope this answer helps.
