Question 1
How is soil formed?

Answer 1

Parent material is the starting point for most soil development. The parent material may be mineral rock and/or organic matter. When parent rock material is exposed to the atmosphere or when organic matter and/or minerals are deposited on the earth's surface, soil formation begins.
The soil is formed by the breakdown of rocks at or near the surface of the earth through various physical, chemical and biological processes by various factors such as the sun, water, wind and even living organisms.
