What is the first step in the process of forming soil?

The first step in soil formation is weathering of bedrock or parent rock.The parent rock weathers and breaks down to smaller pieces of rock and sediments.


When comparing soil samples what is the first step you should take?

The first step in comparing soil samples is to collect representative samples from each location. Ensure that samples are taken consistently and are handled carefully to maintain their integrity for accurate comparison.


What are First step of soil formation?

The first step of soil formation is the weathering of the parent rock material. This process is facilitated by physical, chemical, and biological agents such as temperature, water, wind, plants, and bacteria. Weathering breaks down the parent material into smaller particles, setting the stage for further soil development.


What comes first the soil or the rocks?

Rocks usually form first, breaking down over time into smaller particles to create soil through processes like weathering and erosion. However, soil can also form directly from other materials like organic matter without the intermediate step of rock formation.


How does step farming reduce soil erosion?

Step farming reduces soil erosion by breaking the flow of water down a slope, allowing it to infiltrate into the soil gradually. This slows down water runoff, reducing the speed at which soil is carried away. Additionally, the terraces formed by step farming help to trap sediments and prevent them from being washed away.
