Why does climate have such a strong impact on the type of soil that develops in a region?
Moisture conditions affect the development and character of soils, both by affecting plant growth and through chemical and physical weathering. Chemical activity and biological activity are both related to temperature, as well. The movement of water through soil also affects the structure and characteristics of soils by transporting soil material.
