Question

anyone please answer :-
what are the different layer of soil called???
list three properties associated with each of them​

Answer 1

1. Horizon A or Topsoil

It is also called the humus layer, which is rich in organic material. This layer consists of decomposed material and organic matter. In this layer, the seeds germinate and roots of the plants grow. Many living organisms like earthworms and centipedes, bacteria, and fungi are found in this layer of soil.

2. Horizon B or Subsoil

Just below the topsoil lies another layer called subsoil or horizon-B. It is comparatively harder and compact than topsoil. It is lighter in color than the topsoil because there is less humus in this layer. Farmers often mix horizon-A and horizon-B when ploughing their fields.

3. Bedrock or Horizon C

Bedrock is also known as parent rock and lies just below the subsoil. It contains no organic matter and made up of stones and rocks, so it is very hard. This layer represents a transition zone between the earth’s bedrock and horizon A and B.
