climatic factor
topographic factor
Edaphic factor
chemical factor

Explanation

Climatic factors are environmental conditions that affect the climate of a region, such as temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation.

Topographic factors are the features of the Earth's surface, such as its elevation, slope, and curvature.

The chemical and physical composition of soil is an example of an edaphic factor. Edaphic factors are abiotic factors that relate to the chemical or physical composition of soil in a specific area. E.g texture, porosity, bulk density etc

Chemical factors of soil include the concentrations of chemicals in the soil, the pH level, and the soil's cation exchange capacity.
