Answer to Question 1

Weathering is the process of disintegration of minerals and rocks into increasingly smaller particles by the forces of
weather. Some important weathering forces include temperature changes, water action, plant roots, ice expansion,
and mechanical grinding.



Answer to Question 2

Soil can be defined as the layer of solid materials on the earth's surface containing organic and inorganic matter,
water, and air, and that is capable of supporting plant life.
