Formation of soil is called pedogenesis. Soil formation is the process of soil formation from its parental material. In most of the cases colouration, mineral composition and texture of the soil is determined by its parental material. In addition to the soil parent material, soil formation is also dependent upon other prevailing processes like climate mainly temperature and rainfall.
