Regolith on Earth originates from weathering and biological processes. The uppermost part of the regolith, which typically contains significant organic matter, is more conventionally referred to as soil. [15]
Regolith | Soil Formation, Weathering & Erosion | Britannica
regolith, a region of loose unconsolidated rock and dust that sits atop a layer of bedrock. On Earth, regolith also includes soil, which is a biologically active medium and a key component in plant growth.
Regolith - New World Encyclopedia
Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous material covering solid rock. It includes dust, soil, broken rock, and other related materials. It is found on Earth, the Moon, some asteroids, and other planets. On Earth, regolith is an important factor that supports living organisms.
