Solution
Soil is formed by the decomposition of rocks and mineral. Which is called weathering.
Explanation:
It is the first stage of soil formation in which the Earth’s surface components are destroyed or dissolved by natural causes. Weathering is a static process that occurs in place and is not to be confused with erosion, which is the movement of weathered rock and soil away from its original site.
