Ideas in this flowchart

Parent material influences soil development.
Parent material is the substance in which a soil develops.
Its properties strongly influence the resulting soil profile.
Depositional forces determine many soil characteristics.
They determine particle sorting.
They influence soil texture.
They affect drainage.
They affect fertility.
They influence other soil characteristics.
High-energy transporters such as ice deposit unsorted materials.
Lower-energy transporters such as water and wind produce better-sorted deposits.

"Parent material is the substance in which a soil develops, and its properties strongly influence the resulting soil profile. Depositional forces determine particle sorting, texture, drainage, fertility, and other characteristics. High-energy transporters such as ice tend to deposit unsorted materials, while lower-energy transporters such as water and wind tend to produce better-sorted deposits."
