Soil is not formed to rocks.
Soil is formed from rocks. As the parent material is chemically and physically weathered, transported, deposited and precipitated, it is transformed into a soil.
Soil is formed through the process of rock weathering.
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles when in contact with water (flowing through rocks), air or more minerals.
There are there main classifications of rock, based on the way the rock was formed: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.
Soil is formed of fine rock particles mixed with air, water and particles from dead plant and animal matter.
There are three main types of soil which are classified according to the amount of sand and clay in them.
Soil is usually formed from the rock as a result of weathering of the rocks.
Erosion breaks rocks down into smaller particles.
the continuous weathering of rocks forms the soil on the earth...

The pH value of a soil is influenced by the kinds of parent materials from which the soil was formed. Soils formed from basic rocks have a higher pH than soil formed from acidic rocks. Water passing through soil leach nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are replaced by acidic elements such as aluminum and iron. Therefore soil that is formed under high rainfall are more acidic than soil that is formed under arid conditions.

Soil is formed from rocks. When weathering breaks down rocks into smaller and smaller pieces you will get soil. This process takes thousands and thousands of years.
Soil is formed by weathered rocks and humus (organic matter)
black soil is formed from basaltic rocks
