How soil is formed?

• Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

• Soil is formed from the breakdown of rocks into tiny pieces called sediments. 

• The rocks are broken down through the process of weathering due to exposure to extreme temperature changes, windblown particles, precipitation and flowing water, and ice.
