Soil and its Formation:
- Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids and organisms that together support life.
- Soils are produced from rocks through the processes of weathering and natural erosion.
- Water, wind, temperature changes, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms, and pressure break down parent material.
- It leads to the formation of loose material.
- In the course of time, they further break down into fine particles and releases the locked minerals in the rock.
