14 words

Main Body

Temperature as a factor:

1Increased temperature effect the salinity (alkaline soil)
2More temperature → less bio-organism activity by as it affects efficiency of microorganism in soil
3More temperature leads to increased decomposition → adding carbon content
4Reducing the water/moisture content in soil → aggravates straight (Fletch desert)

Precipitation factor:

1High rain → Runoff, soil erosion
2Rain precipitation percolate moisture [eg black soil]
3Seepage to ground water and increase moisture to soil makes it fertile

Conclusion

This Temperature & precipitation affect soil largely and we should try to slow the pace of climate change which is affecting soils the process.
