Solution

Soil formation occurs as a result of a gradual breakdown of rocks. Rocks are broken down into finer particles through many processes such as weathering and erosion. These components are mixed with organic materials to form soil. This means that it is a mixture of rocks which are broken into smaller particles, the dead and decayed organic matter along with microbes.
