Weathering and Natural Resources.
Soil is created through a long process involving the break down of rocks, minerals and organic matter. Weathering, which can occur through physical, chemical or biological means, breaks down rocks into smaller particles. This, combined with the actions of plants, animals, fungi and bacteria, creates organic matter that enriches the soil. Natural resources like water, air, and sunlight also play a crucial role in soil creation. Over time, these factors work together to create the rich, nutrient-filled soils that are essential for plant growth and healthy ecosystems.
