Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Time

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The nature of parent rock, climatic conditions, relief or altitude, vegetation and time are factors affecting soil formation. The rate of weathering is determined by climatic conditions of a given place and depending upon the relief or slope, the amount of weathered particles deposited, changes. Soil texture comes into existence after the formation of the soil.
