Physical agencies like running water, wind, ice, gravity etc And chemical agencies like oxidation, reduction and carbonation. Residual soil :- if the weathered rock material is retained over parent rock it is termed as residual soil. Note :- The process of formation of soil is known as Pedogenesis Types of soil 1. Alluvial soil It is the soil which is being deposited from the suspension in running water It is mainly found along the bank of river Transported soil (running water) Physical weathering 2. Lacustrine soil It is the soil which is deposited from the suspension in fresh water still water of the lake. Residual soil (water) Physical weathering 3. Marine soil It is the soil which is deposited from the suspension in sea water Transported soil Physical weathering ( flowing water ) 4. Aeolian soil It is the soil which is formed due to transpor
