The composition of soils depends on the source materials, the distance from the source and the climate. The most commonly found material in soils is probably sand (quartz) which resists erosion because of its hardness and clay which is the product of the decomposition of other minerals. Good soil for farming and gardening also contains lots of humus, carbon-rich decomposed plant material. (Get some soil, shake it up in a tall jar of weater, let it settle and take a look.)
