Answer;

Rainfall

Rainfall is the greatest influence on soil formation.

Explanation;

  • Soil formation results from weathering of rocks or materials deposited by erosion from rivers and wind.
  • Soil differs from one place to another due to the influence by factors such as climate, topography, organisms etc.
  • The influence from climate is due to temperature and rainfall. High temperatures and rainfall increase the degree of weathering and thus the extent of soil formation.
  • Among the factors influencing soil formation climate has the greatest influence.
