How is soil formed step by step?

Answer 1

The next time you see a large rock, consider the following:

1. Every drop of rain contributes to the rock's erosion;
2. Movement and friction, plus action of organisms, help break the rock down further;
3. The particles of rock created through these external forces create part of the soil;
4. Dead plant matter and other organisms also contribute to the type and quality of soil;
5. As soil is compacted under pressure, it begins the very long process of reforming into rock.

Answer 2

Soil is a mixture of weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air supports the growth of plant life. Organic matter includes decomposed leaves, twigs, roots, and other material. Many factors affect soil formation

Some factors are

Parent Rock

The Slope of the Land

Climate

Time

Organisms

Answer 3

First, soil starts as rock. Then, bigger rocks get broken down into smaller pieces of rock. After That, this does not become dirt, it starts to form soil. Last, all decaying plants and animals will mix in with the rocks and form SOIL!!

Answer 4

Soil formation occurs through weathering of rocks, organic matter decomposition, and soil mixing by organisms. Firstly, rocks are broken down into smaller particles by physical, chemical, and biological processes. Secondly, organic matter from dead plants and animals accumulates and enriches the soil. Finally, microbial activities and soil organisms further develop the soil structure and fertility over time.

Answer 5

1. Bedrock Disintegrates

2. Parent Material Forms

3. Organic Matter Begins To Collect

4. Thick Vegetation Grows And Gives Back To The Soil.

Answer 6

Soil forms when mixture of weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air support the growth of plant life.

Answer 7

Soil is formed by sands being blown across continents. This is then compacted by rain. This process repeats itself for millions of years then you have basic soil

Answer 8

soil forms as rock is broken down by weathering and mixes with other materials on the surface.
