The five major factors that play a vital role in increasing or decreasing the rate of soil formation
Parent material,
climate,
topography,
organisms, and
time
The less hard a parent materials, the easy it is to break it down into small pieces and convert it into soil. The harder the parent soil is , the more time it will take to break.
Climate - warm and wet climate helps in disintegrating rocks faster.
Diffusion is important to organisms because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the body cellsand waste products are removed. Digested food molecules (amino acids, glucose) move down a concentration gradient from the intestine to the blood.
