Question
what is the source of parent material for soil?
bacteria and algae in water
rock pieces from bedrock
water and wind currents
Soil parent material is derived from the weathering of bedrock, which breaks down into rock pieces. Bacteria/algae in water are not the source of parent material, and water/wind currents are agents of erosion/transport, not the source of the parent material itself. So the correct option is the one about rock pieces from bedrock.
