the broken down rocks
weathering
Rocks are naturally broken down into smaller pieces through a process called weathering. This includes physical weathering, where rocks are broken apart by factors like ice, wind, and water, as well as chemical weathering, where rocks are broken down by reactions with substances in the environment. Over time, these processes cause rocks to fracture and crumble into smaller particles.

Soil is a mixture of broken down rock and broken down organic plant matter.
All rocks can be broken down into smaller particles known as minerals. These minerals are the basic building blocks of rocks and can be classified based on their chemical composition and crystal structure.
All types of rocks can be broken down into soil through the process of weathering and erosion. However, softer rocks like limestone, sandstone, and shale tend to break down more easily into soil compared to harder rocks like granite and basalt.
