Question

Soil formation is done by both abiotic and biotic factors. List the names of these factors by classifying them as abiotic and biotic?

Answer 1

Abiotic factors:

Abiotic factors are non-living elements of an ecosystem like water, soil, and atmosphere.

Biotic factors:

Biotic Factors are live elements of the ecosystem like plants, animals, and microbes that are part of an ecosystem.

Soil formation:

1. Soil is created from bedrocks by weathering and erosive forces of nature.
2. Bedrock is broken down by water, wind, gravity, temperature change, chemical reactions, living things, and pressure variations.
3. It is the procedure regulated by the consequences of area, atmosphere, and history.
4. Biogeochemical procedures act to both create and demolish order within soils.
5. The biotic and abiotic factors that cause the formation of soil are:

• Abiotic Factors of Soil Formation-Sun, Water, Wind
• Biotic Factors of Soil Formation-moss, moss, trees, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and decomposers.
