Soil is formed through the physical, chemical, and biological breakdown and weathering of rocks at the earth's surface over time. Rocks are broken down into smaller mineral and organic particles, along with water and air, through processes like physical weathering which breaks rocks into smaller pieces, chemical weathering which uses agents like water and carbon dioxide to break rocks down, and biological weathering where plants and animals contribute to breakdown. The different types of soils formed depend on the minerals and materials resulting from weathering bedrock classified as igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks.
