The origin of mineral particles in the soil is

Explanation

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down and decomposed into smaller particles over time due to physical, chemical, and biological processes. As rocks undergo weathering, they gradually break apart into smaller fragments and minerals. These mineral particles, along with other organic matter such as decaying plant and animal material (humus) and living organisms, make up the soil matrix. so the primary source of mineral particles in the soil is from the weathering of parent rock materials.
