Detailed Solution

Concept- The material that covers the earth's surface, known as soil, is created due to rock weathering. It's primarily composed of mineral atoms, organic substances, air, water, and living things, all interacting slowly yet continuously.
The process of weathering is how soil is created from the original rock element. Several things impact it. The parent rock does not benefit from the weathering of decomposed particles. Rock weathering is primarily responsible for the production of soil. Rocks weather because of the impacts of wind, water, and climate.
