What are some factors that effect the type of soil found in an area?

One of the factors that affects soil type is how close you are to an ocean or other body of water. As nearly everyone knows, beachfront property is often very sandy, and thus, being near a body of water will affect soil type. Another factor that will likely affect soil type in the area is volcanic activity. If there are active volcanoes in the area, the soil type will definitely be affected by the ash and volcanic rock. Yet another factor that can affect soil type is farming. If there is lots of farming in an area, it will affect all of the nutrients in the soil, and while this may not change the soil type, it will certainly affect the soil quality.
