"The Sun and wind help in making soil." Justify the statement giving reasons.
(N/A) The Sun: The Sun heats up rocks during the day, causing them to expand, and at night they cool down and contract. This repeated expansion and contraction result in the formation of cracks, and rocks ultimately break into smaller pieces.
Wind: Strong winds cause erosion by rubbing against rocks and carrying rock particles. This abrasive action breaks down large rocks into smaller particles, which eventually contribute to the formation of soil.
