One way in which soil is formed is from the weathering of rock. When water and wind break down rock, particles from the rock are turned into soil. Also, the decomposition of plant remains turn into soil because after the plant remains have been eroded, those parts or particles turn into soil. It's the same with animal remains, too.

How does the pH of soil relate to the pH of the water around the soil?
The pH value of a soil is influenced by the kinds of parent materials from which the soil was formed. Soils formed from basic rocks have a higher pH than soil formed from acidic rocks. Water passing through soil leach nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are replaced by acidic elements such as aluminum and iron. Therefore soil that is formed under high rainfall are more acidic than soil that is formed under arid conditions.
