Which of the following statements about soil is NOT TRUE?
A)Soil consists of mineral and organic matter modified by the natural actions of agents such as weather, wind, water, and organisms.
B)Soil formation is a continuous process that takes a long time, sometimes thousands of years, both because the process of rock disintegrating into fine mineral particles is slow, and time is also required for organic material to accumulate in the soil.
C)An area's terrain influences soil formation -- steep slopes encourage soil formation and accumulation while valleys discourage the formation of deep soils.
D)Minerals, the main component of soil, provide anchorage and essential nutrient minerals for plants, as well as pore space for water and air.
