Question

from? ASAP

Answer 1

Soil is made up of three main components – minerals that come from rocks below or nearby, organic matter which is the remains of plants and animals that use the soil, and the living organisms that reside in the soil. The proportion of each of these is important in determining the type of soil that is present.

Answer 2

Soil is a mixture of minerals, dead and living organisms (organic materials), air, and water.
