Question 1

How are soils formed?

Answer

The soils are formed by disintegration and denudation of rocks under specific natural conditions. The natural forces responsible for soil formation are water, wind, vegetation, animals and temperature variations. These forces lead to weathering of the rocks and formation of soil. This process of formation of soil is called pedogenesis.
