Weathering and erosion create the small rock particles that, along with organic matter, make up soils. The same small rock particles can be transported by water and find their way to the bottom of lakes and oceans where they form layers. As more and more layers are deposited, the pressure from the weight above and consolidation of the minerals and the particles may cause them to cement together, creating a sedimentary rock.

What role does physical weathering play in the formation process of sandstone?
question: What role does weathering play in the formation of soil? answer: soil forms as rock is broken down by weathering and mixes with other materials on the surface.
What role does weathering play in the formation of soil?
weathering occurs faster in warm and rainy climate. the rate of which soil forms depends on the climate and type of rock. so soil formation is faster when weathering is quicker too.
What role does the earthworm play in soil formation?
Earthworms play a large part in soil formation. They loosen the soil for plants and they clean it out of things the soil doesnt need.

How does type of weathering contribute to soil formation?
The type of weatheirng contributes to soil formation because if it is mecahnical weathering by force, then it will come out differentally than chemicalw eathering if it is by chemical composition. THere would be differences by the weathering depending on where the rock is.
