The three abiotic factors that influence the process of soil formation are :chemical factors such as salinity and composition,
climatic factors such as temperature,humidity, and
physical factors such as erosion and weathering by various agents.elavation is also an important physical factor.

The three abiotic factors that make it possible for soil to gather and build on rock landscapes are:

- Chemical factors;

The chemical factors like the salinity and the composition are very important for the formation of the soil, as well as for determining the type of soil.

- Physical factors;

The most important of the physical factors are the erosion and deposition. While the erosion removes layers of soil from a certain places, the deposition brings that material on another place and makes layers which set of a new start for soil formation on another place.

- Climatic factors;

The climate is extremely important because it sets the basic for the soil formation. Different types of climate result in different types of soil, and the fact that the climate is the factor that enables certain plants to grow in certain conditions, makes it possible for the soil to become richer or poorer depending on the biomass available.
