ANSWER:

The type of soil formed depends on the climate, time, parent material, relief and organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The climatic factors like precipitation and temperature describe how quickly weathering will take place and what would be the moisture content of the soil. Soils take many years to form from their parent material.

The parent material is mineral matter or organic matter that forms soil. Soils carry characteristics from their parent material like the texture, color and structure. Organisms define how fertile the soil is. If soil has more organisms, it will be fertile.
