The Nature of Soil 1. A layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering covers the surface of Earth. 2. Weathering gradually breaks rocks into smaller and smaller fragments. 3. Plants and animals add organic matter, the remains of once-living organisms, to the rock fragments. • Soil is a mixture of weathered rock, decayed
