    Soil is a complex biological system consisting of mineral particles, organic matter, water, air, and living organisms. Soil formation occurs in two stages - weathering breaks down rock into mineral particles, followed by soil development through pedogenesis which involves the accumulation and transformation of organic matter and biological activity over time.
