INTRODUCTION
Soil is a natural resource. The soil formed by the
prolonged processes like weathering of rocks and
decomposition of organic matter. It is estimated
that more than a thousand years is required for the
formation of an inch thick layer of soil. Different
types of soil are formed due to variations in factors
such as topography and climate.
