Answer:

Soil is formed through decomposition and weathering.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soil minerals form the basis of soil. They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the process of weathering and natural erosion. Water, wind temperature change, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms and pressure differences all help break down parent material into soil.
