Detailed explanation-1: -Soil geography studies the spatial distribution of soils as it relates to topography, climate (water, air, temperature), soil life (micro-organisms, plants, animals) and mineral materials within soils (biogeochemical cycles).

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil occupies the pedosphere, one of Earth’s spheres that the geosciences use to organize the Earth conceptually. This is the conceptual perspective of pedology and edaphology, the two main branches of soil science. Pedology is the study of soil in its natural setting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physical geography also includes the processes, such as erosion, landslides, earthquakes, and volcanoes, that shape and change the landforms around us. Other elements of physical geography include rock types and minerals, a field known as geology.
