How does parent material affect soil texture?
Parent material influences soil formation through the process of weathering and then through the influence of the weathered material on soil processes. It provides the skeleton for the soil's texture through its main structure.
This is the parent material that forms soil?
bedrock
What is Residual soil?
has bedrock as its parent material
What are the five factors of soil formation?
