Explanation:

Five main interacting factors affect the formation of soil:
1. parent material:-minerals forming the basis of soil
2. living organisms:-influencing soil formation
3. climate:-affecting the rate of weathering and organic decomposition
4. topography:-grade of slope affecting drainage, erosion and deposition
5. time:-influencing soil properties.
Interactions between these factors produce an infinite variety of soils across the earth’s
surface.
