Conclusion So in today's lecture we learned that: Weathering is the process that converts rocks into soil material. It occurs through three main mechanisms: Physical Weathering – mechanical breakdown Chemical Weathering – chemical transformation Biological Weathering – action of living organisms These processes gradually produce soil particles, clay minerals, and nutrients, which are essential for plant growth. Understanding weathering is important because it explains how soils originate
