The Earth has 4 layers: the outer crust that we live on and that consist of different types of soil, the plastic like mantle, the liquid outer core abd the solid inner core. So, soil is the covering of weathered rocks and decaying organing matter of the first layer of the Earth. This mixture f minerals (rocks, sand, clay), air, water and organic material supports life on Earth.
