Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rocks turn into the soil through the process of weathering. Physical weathering occurs when natural forces, such as water or wind, physically break apart the rock without chemically changing it. Over time a large rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually turning into soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.
