How is Soil Formed
... Moving water, wind, and changes in temperature can crack large rocks. Over a long period of time, large rocks are broken into tiny pieces. These tiny pieces are broken into smaller bits, or particles. These particles become part of soil. Plant roots can also crack large rocks. Soil has spaces in it ...
