Why is the atmosphere important for soil formation?

The atmosphere contributes to soil formation by providing gases for chemical weathering processes that break down rocks into mineral particles. Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere react with minerals, slowly breaking them into smaller particles that become part of the soil. Additionally, atmospheric precipitation brings water that aids in the transport of these mineral particles, leading to the accumulation of soil over time.
