Explore the formation of sedimentary rocks, types of weathering, and the essential role of soil in ecosystems. This collection of science tips provides insights into clastic, chemical, and organic rock types, the process of stratification, and the chemical weathering that leads to corrosion. Understand soil as a mixture of minerals, organic material, and more, along with the importance of historical plant and animal decay. Learn about soil profiles, the most resistant minerals to weathering, and ideal soil compositions for plant growth.
