Detailed explanation-1: -Time is the fifth factor in soil formation. Over time, vegetation and climate act on parent material and topography. Development, not chronological age, determines a soil’s age. The degree of aging depends on the intensity of the other four soil-forming factors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Time: The formation of the soil is not one day process but requires many years to form. Younger soils have some characteristics from their parent material, but as they age, the addition of organic matter, exposure to moisture, and other environmental factors may change its features.
