Define the term soil profile. What are the influences on the development of a so

The layers of soil found in a particular location are known as that area's soil profile. The process of soil formation can lead to characteristic aspects of soil structure. Once mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering have produced a layer of smaller particles between the parent material and atmosphere, wind and water begin to move and sort them. Organisms migrate in and move soils as well. Eventually, distinct zones and patterns appear. Soil profiles differ from location to location due to variations in parent material, climate, and other factors.
