ELEMENTS OF SOIL MATERIAL AND ITS FORMATION RELATIVE TO SOIL COMPOSITION IN NIGERIA

Abstract: The purpose of this study is for the development of knowledge on soil particles as the process of its formation in becoming solid material with the understanding of its natural formation with the environmental nature effects towards the formation of the soil element along with their compositions. The study of this topic leads to the research of environmental materials of soil that relates to formation of soil; Materials like the silicate and kaolinite framework, an overview of the formation of soil, like building block of clay minerals, the type of bonding, common clay mineral of two and three sheets for every layers and Relationship between the engineering properties of Index. From this study of soil formations, my result will lead to the continuity of the second phase which will be the topic of Index Properties.
