• A. Physical weathering
• B. Chemical weathering
• C. Biological weathering
• D. Geological weathering

Answer 1

Water aids in the process of soil formation. It enters the rocks through the cracks in them and freezes at low temperatures. This expands and contracts the rocks, which results in the breaking down of the rocks. Another way in which water helps in the formation of soil is when running water flows along rocks
