The soil origin

If you imagine long periods and periods of time where large blocks of rock were crumbling and breaking, the soil began primarily as rocks, along with decaying animals and vegetables. This was mainly caused by heat, water action and friction. 

Friction here refers to rock-to-rock friction and abrasion. 

GENESIS OF SOIL

Think of huge rocks, the perfect chaos of them crashing into each other, scraping and settling. What will be the result? Well, I'm sure you can figure it out. What happened was that the pieces of rock were worn away, a lot of heat was generated, the pieces of rock came together to form a new mass of rock, and some parts dissolved in the water. Why do I also feel stressed and nervous about all this? can?

After that, there was a big change in temperature. At first everything is heated to a high temperature and then gradually cooled. Let us think of the divisions, collapses and cataclysms that such changes must have caused. You probably know the effects of sudden freezes and thaws in winter. However, small examples like broken water pipes and broken water jugs are not indicative of what was happening in the world at the time. Water and gases from the atmosphere gardening helped this operation fall apart.

From this scraping action (what we call mechanical action), it is quite easy to understand how the sand was formed. This represents one of the main divisions of sandy soils. The coast is a large mass of pure sand. 

If the soil were nothing more than a mass of crushed rock, it would certainly be very poor and unproductive. However, earlier forms of plant and animal decomposition became part of the rock mass and gave rise to better soils. So what we call sandy soil is a mixture of other substances besides sand, sometimes clay, sometimes plant matter or humus, and often animal excrement.

Clay leads us to another type of soil, clay soils. It happens that certain parts of the rock mass melt when water drips onto the rock mass and generates a large amount of heat. This dissolution was mainly due to the presence of a certain gas called carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide in the air. This gas attacks and changes certain materials in the rock. 

Occasionally, you may see a protruding part that looks like a large rock has been excavated. Carbonation made this possible. This eaten part was transformed into something else called clay. These changes are chemical rather than mechanical. 

The difference between the two types of changes is the following: In a case of sand, mechanical changes occur and the mass remains in its original state except in a smaller size. It started with large stones and ended with small particles of sand. But at the end of the day, you didn't have another type of rock. 

The mechanical action can be explained by the sugar cubes. Imagine sugar as a big rock. When sugar breaks down, even a small amount becomes sugar. The same goes for rock blocks. But chemical changes begin with one thing and end with another. It begins with a large piece of rock that contains parts that have been altered by the action of the acid. It became something completely different than what we call clay. 

So, in the case of a chemical change, you start with something and end up with something completely different. Clay soils are often called muddy soils because large amounts of water are used in their formation.
