The A Horizon.
7. Soil formation begins with the weathering of a. loam b. rock c. the A horizon d. the B horizon
It provides material for the soil
weathering occurs faster in warm and rainy climate. the rate of which soil forms depends on the climate and type of rock. so soil formation is faster when weathering is quicker too.
question: What role does weathering play in the formation of soil? answer: soil forms as rock is broken down by weathering and mixes with other materials on the surface.

Bed rock is called the parent of soil because soil formation begins when bed rock is broken down by weathering . Weathering breaks the parent rock into smaller and smaller peices later on the weathered rock is broke down into soil particles. :-)
weathering
The type of weatheirng contributes to soil formation because if it is mecahnical weathering by force, then it will come out differentally than chemicalw eathering if it is by chemical composition. THere would be differences by the weathering depending on where the rock is.
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.
