Weathered rock formed from source rock in one place can be really different from weathered rock formed from different sources. In addition, the pieces of weathered rock can be moved from one place (deposition) and put in a new place (erosion). This explains why soils in different places have different compositions. Rich soils help to support a wide variety of (living) things, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. It also acts as a (filter). (Ground water) seeps through the soil on its way down towards aquifers; the soil helps to remove some (pollutants). Poor (land management) can lead to excessive erosion and contamination of soil.
