Soil colloidal particle shows the phenomena (IFFCO 2022)

✅Explanation:
Pedogenesis is the process of soil formation. It's a complex interplay of factors that transform parent material (rocks, sediments) into soil.
-Weathering: The physical and chemical breakdown of rocks is the first step.
-Organic Matter Accumulation: Dead plants and animals decompose, adding organic matter (humus) crucial for soil fertility.
-Leaching: Water moving through soil transports minerals and nutrients, influencing soil composition.
-Translocation: Movement of soil particles within the profile, creating distinct soil horizons.
Pedogenesis is essential for supporting terrestrial life, agriculture, and ecosystem functions. Understanding this process helps us manage and conserve soil resources.

📌 Other Options Explanations:
-Humification: The process of decomposing organic matter into humus.
-Sedimentation: The process of particles settling out of a fluid, often forming layers.

🔑Key Points:
-Pedogenesis is the process of formation of soil regulated by the influence of place, environment and history.
-Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms which supports life.
-The Pedosphere is the Earth's body of soil.
-The Pedosphere interfaces with the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere.

✏It has four important functions:
-As a means of water storage, supply and purification.
-As a medium for plant growth.
-As a modifier of Earth's atmosphere.
-As a habitat for organisms.
