The origin of mineral particles in the soil is D. weathered rock.
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller fragments and minerals through physical, chemical, and biological means. These mineral particles, along with organic matter from decaying plant and animal materials, make up the soil.
The answer should be c not d.....as it is the type of rock being weathered that will determine the mineral constituent of the resulting soil.....pls correct it
It is the weathered rock that will even form the soil in d first place. The ans shld be D
minerals in the soil are from wethered rock. pls @myschool check the answer again
The correct answer is **D. weathered rock**.
Mineral particles in the soil originate from the weathering, or breaking down, of rocks. Over time, physical and chemical weathering processes break down these rocks into smaller particles that become part of the soil. Hence, the correct answer is D.
Inorganic mineral particles make up more than half the volume of soil. These particles come from rocks – the parent material that formed the soil.
Answer is D
