What determines the thickness of soil profile ?
Answer: B
The thickness of the soil profile is determined by time.
Soil forms slowly by the weathering of rock and the addition of organic matter. Parent rock, climate, relief and living organisms decide what kind of soil forms, but the NCERT textbook names time as the factor that determines the thickness of the soil profile: the longer the soil has been forming, the deeper it is.
Relief, flora and fauna, and climate influence the nature and rate of soil formation, but the key follows the textbook in linking thickness to time.
