Answer 2

Answer:

hey here is your answer-

A horizon -(topsoil) Mostly minerals from parent material with organic matter incorporated. A good material for plants and other organisms to live.

B horizon- (subsoil) Rich in minerals that leached (moved down) from the A or E horizons and accumulated here.

C horizon- (parent material) The deposit at Earth’s surface from which the soil developed.

E horizon- - (eluviated) - Leached of clay, minerals, and organic matter, leaving a concentration of sand and silt particles of quartz or other resistant materials – missing in some soils but often found in older soils and forest soils.

R horizon - - (bedrock) A mass of rock such as granite, basalt, quartzite, limestone or sandstone that forms the parent material for some soils – if the bedrock is close enough to the surface to weather. This is not soil and is located under the C horizon.

O horizon- (humus or organic) Mostly organic matter such as decomposing leaves. The O horizon is thin in some soils, thick in others, and not present at all in others.
