    True - soils are formed by breakdown of rocks.

    Three agents that can transport soil - Wind, Glaciers and Water

    Explanation:

    Soil is formed by the weathering (breakdown) of rocks. The basis of soil is soil minerals. Rocks are the parent material of soil formation which are broken down by water, wind, temperature change, gravity, chemical reaction and pressure differences.

    Soil erosion is the washing or blowing away of the top layer of soil. Some of the agents of soil erosion are wind, water, ice (glaciers), snow, plants, animals and also human beings. Soil erosion leads to loss of soil fertility.
