Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A residual soil develops from the bedrock directly beneath it through the process of weathering and erosion. As the bedrock is broken down, the minerals and organic matter gradually accumulate to form a soil layer. Residential, regolith, retransported, and retrograde soils are not directly related to the development of soil from bedrock.
