Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soil is formed from parent material through weathering processes, which can be physical, such as freeze-thaw cycles and abrasion, chemical, such as acid rain and mineral reactions, and biological, such as root growth and decomposition. Composting and terracing may assist in the formation of soil, but they are not the primary processes. Leaching refers to the removal of nutrients from soil, not its formation.
