Soil - Formation and its importance

Formation of soil

Due to collision of internal moving earth's plates, the magma comes out on the upper surface of the earth. After a long time, the magma gets cold and gain a solid state. This solid state is called rock.

    After suffering from different weathering conditions like rain, wind , high temperature, sun etc. rocks are deteriorated in small or micro particles by the time. These particles form soil.

    Formation of soil is a very slow process. It takes year in crores.
