Question

How does weathering help to create soil? Please Help Asap

Weathering adds organic material to the soil.
Weathering builds up the rocks that create the deepest soil layer.
Weathering compacts small particles into larger rock pieces.
Weathering breaks parent material into smaller pieces.

Answer 1

Your answer would be:
D.) Weathering breaks parent material into smaller pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock. The broken rocks are transported to another place where it decomposes and forms soil. Therefore weathering is important for soil formation. Without it, there will be likely less soil.
