Soil refers to a broad term that means a loose layer of earth that covers the surface of the earth and includes disintegrated rock, inorganic and organic materials, and humus. Changing the form of soil from rock to soil takes 500 years or even more.
When different forces act upon the rocks, they break down into smaller parts to form “soil”. The forces also include the force of wind, water, and salt reactions. There are mostly 3 stages of soil, namely:
- Solid soil
- Soil with air in the pores
- Soil with water in the pores
The types of soil are determined based on texture, proportions, and different forms of mineral and organic composition.
