The process of weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces called sediment. Over time, these sediments are further broken down by erosion, chemical reactions, and biological activity, eventually creating soil. Soil formation also involves the accumulation of organic matter and nutrients, which contribute to the development of fertile soil layers.

How does rock turn into soil?

When small pieces of rock break off larger pieces, they form the basis of all soil. The rock turns in to gravel, which turns into sand. Plants, animals, and minerals break down to form clay. Silt is a dust particle which is made up of minerals and tiny bits of rock. It is smaller than sand and bigger than clay.When the right amount of gravel, sand, clay, and silt mix, it turns into soil.
