Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While all four factors (parent material, plants, climate, and time) play a role in soil formation, climate is considered the most important because it influences the rate of weathering, organic matter decomposition, and erosion. Different types of climate produce different types of soil, such as the podzols found in cold, wet environments and the aridisols found in hot, dry environments.
