 WEATHERING
Is the breaking down or dissolving
of rocks and minerals on Earths
surface. Once a rock has been
broken down, a process called
erosion transports the bits of rock
and mineral away.

 How continuous weathering leads
to soil formation?.
What are the factors affecting
weathering?
SLIDESMANIA
 The weathering of rocks on the Earth's surface
results in the formation of soil. Soil is formed
when rocks are continuously broken down by
weathering. As rocks weather, they break into
smaller pieces. These pieces are broken down
into even smaller pieces to form soil.

into soil

 1. Climate
temperature and water affect ¡how fast
chemical weathering occurs. Moist
regions experience more chemical
weathering because water affects the
abundance of chemical reaction hemical
weathering occurs. Moist regions
experience more chemical weathering
because water affects the abundance of

 2. Organic matter
as plants die, small organisms break down
and decay material into organic matter.
During this process, bacteria and plants
produce a type of acid. This acid is a big
contributor to the breakdown of soil
particles

 3. Parent material
Soil forms from different parent
materials; one such parent material
is bedrock. As rocks become
exposed at the Earth's surface,
they erode and become chemically
and physically altered

 4. Terrain
If there's more sunlight, it changes
the amount of available water At
the base of a landform, thicker,
soils tend to form. Gravity moves
water downward which is where
water accumulates. Overall, it's
terrain that affects water
availability
