Question

how does weathering vary according to climate? what are five factors affecting soil composition?

Explanation:

Weathering is influenced by climate as different climates have varying temperatures, precipitation levels, and humidity which affect the rate and type of weathering processes. For soil composition, the five main factors are parent material (the rock from which the soil forms), climate (affecting weathering and organic matter decomposition), living organisms (plants, animals, and microorganisms), topography (slope, aspect etc. which influence water runoff and soil erosion), and time (the longer the soil has been forming, the more developed its composition).

Answer:

1. Weathering varies with climate due to differences in temperature, precipitation, and humidity that impact weathering processes.
2. Five factors affecting soil composition are parent material, climate, living organisms, topography, and time.
