Soil formation There are several factors that lead to the development of soil 1) mechanical weathering 2) chemical weathering 3) climate 1) Mechanical weathering Mechanical weathering results in the breakup of rock into smaller sized particles by the physical actions of wind erosion, water erosion, and freezing-heating that causes rocks to expand and contract.
