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 causes the
