It provides the sand particles that are a part of the basis for soil.
Explanation:
"Weathering" is the process of rock erosion by wind and water. The actual process removes tiny pieces of rock a little at a time. These pieces are what we call "sand" when agglomerated.
Sand combines with organic detritus to form the plant nutrient and support base that we call "soil".
