Question

“Soil is formed by water.” If you agree to this statement then give reasons

Answer 1

Water aids in soil development in the following ways:

1. Over time, water causes the 'wear off' of rocks.
2. It also causes the rocks to rub against one another, resulting in minute particles that are carried downstream and deposited as soil.
3. When water freezes in rock cracks, it expands and breaks the rock into smaller pieces.
