Does a pile of soil that sits on the ground exert force or not?

Yes, a pile of soil sitting on the ground exerts force on the ground beneath it. The soil has mass, and gravity pulls it down on the whatever is under it. A red ant standing atop the pile of soil exerts an extra force on it, to continue the figure.

What is the force exerted upwards from the ground?
In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.
When a book sits on a shelf what force if any does the shelf exert on the book?
The shelf must exert an upward force on the book that is exactly equal to the book's weight. If the forces on the bottom of the book were not balanced (did not add up to zero), then the bottom of the book would be accelerating.
How to prove that normal force is equal to the product of mass and gravity?
The normal force is what prevents an object from falling through the ground. The force of gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, so the ground that the object sits on must apply an equal force in the opposite direction (Newton's Third Law), other wise the object would fall through.
What does one part of the soil do?
It just sits there on the ground, it doesn't do anything.
What do you mean by applied force in physics?
The force that is put on... for example when someone sits on a see-saw, they are appplying force on the see-saw.
What is riding height?
Riding height on a vehicle is the height from the ground to the bottom of the car. Or how far from the ground your car sits
A cat with a mass of 4.50 kilograms sits on a ledge 0.800 meters above the ground If it jumps to the ground how much kinetic energy will it have just as it reaches the ground?
If a cat that has a mass of 4.50 kilograms sits on a ledge that is 0.800 meters above ground and it jumps down to the ground, it will have a specific amount of kinetic energy just as it reaches the ground. In this instance, the answer would be 35.3J.
What bird has a long curved beak and sits low to the ground?
I think you are referring to a kiwi.
What forces are acting on a shuttle as it sits on the launch pad?
As the shuttle sits on the launch pad before the engines are started, the only forces acting on it are gravity, and perhaps the force of wind.
Is a bed roll the same as a sleeping bag?
No, a bed roll is a ground mat which the sleeping bag sits on.
