Formation of soil?
Breaking down of rocks thousands of year ago is called formation of soil. This is called weathering rocks; they have a crack in them and when water gets into these cracks and remains there , it may freeze in cold weather and form ice. Ice exerts pressure, thus breaking the rock over thousand of years, repeated weathering breaks rock into small grains of sand.
