Soil Genesis
Genesis means origin. It means how soils are developed. Mostly soils are developed by weathering of minerals. Soil genesis includes soil forming factor and soil forming process. Soils from mineral materials are developed by the dynamic forces of climate and the action of plants and animals (biosphere) as modified by topography (lay of the land) over time (years).

II- TRANSPORTED PARENT MATERIAL: formed from weathered rocks that have been moved to another location by water, wind, ice or gravity.
III- CUMULOSE PARENT MATERIAL: Could be called residual parent material Because they have been formed in place, in
another sense, they are not residual because they did not develop from underlying bed rocks.
Parent material of organic soils (cummulose) are mostly plant residues preserved by excessive soil wetness.

SOIL FORMATION FACTORS
A soil is generated when the active factors of climate and biosphere interact with passive parent material and modified by passive topography over neutral time.
Parent material Climate Organisms Topography Time

Soil Forming Processes
Boul et al. (1980). Lists a number of important soil forming processes into four categories i.e. additions, losses, transfers and transformation with in a soil body. Further these are classified as
General processes Specific processes

Pedoturbation
Pedoturbation is the process of soil mixing by fauna and flora and physical churning and cycling of soil materials. It may invert soil layers. It has following types
• Faunal Pedoturbation• Floral Pedoturbation• Agrilli Pedoturbation
