Factors involved Agricultural practices, where the members of a farming family produce only enough food for themselves and do not make use of large-scale irrigation, chemical fertilizer, or machinery and technology, is called in soil formation. Below are factors involved in soil formation, except

(A) weathering of parent materials

(B) freezing/thawing

(C) growth of tree roots

(D) amont of fertilizer

(D) amont of fertilizer

Explanation:

For a soil to form, the process of weathering must have taken place. Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form soils and sediments. When organic matter, air and water incorporates with products of weathering, soils form.

Weathering of parent materials, freezing and thawing, growth of tree roots all leads to the physical disintegration of rocks. This is known as physical weathering.

Fertilizers add nutrients to the soil through artifical means and do not contribute to soil formation.
