The basic idea of star formation is gravitational collapse – the contraction of a region of gas under the influence of gravity. This is a simple process that would be expected to occur in any region of material dense enough for collisions between atoms to radiate away energy. However‚ the gas must be dense enough for collisions to occur and the temperature must be low enough for the atomic velocities not to be able to escape the system’s gravity‚ so star formation only occurs in a few areas.

Soil formation‚ or pedogenesis‚ is the combined effect of physical‚ chemical‚ biological and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material. Soil is said to be formed when organic matter has accumulated and colloids washed downward‚ leaving deposits of clay‚ humus‚ iron oxide‚ carbonate‚ and gypsum. As a result‚ horizons form in the soil profile. These constituents are moved (translocated) from one level to another by water and animal activity. The alteration and movement of materials within a soil
