(N/A) Water contributes to the formation of soil in the following ways:

$(ii)$ Flowing water causes rocks to rub against other rocks, creating small particles that are carried downstream and deposited as soil.
$(iii)$ Water enters the crevices of rocks and expands upon freezing, which exerts pressure and cracks the rocks into smaller pieces.
