Weathering is how rocks break down and change. Soil contains weathered rock, air, water, and humus. Soil forms in layers over many years. Most plants need soil to grow. Erosion moves weathered rocks and soil around. Wind, gravity, water, and ice are forces that can cause weathering or erosion.

Plants are vascular or nonvascular. Gymnosperms are vascular plants and produce seeds but not flowers. Angiosperms are vascular plants that produce flowers. Their seeds are protected by fruit. Plants are producers because they make their own food, which serves as part of a food chain. Plants produce oxygen and are used to make many things.
