Here is ur answer!!

The A horizon is directly beneath the O horizon and is usually what you'd call topsoil, being heavily enriched by decaying organic material but also depleted of other mineral deposits (such as calcium carbonate).

The E horizon is found between the A and B horizons only in well developed soils and has been depleted of mineral deposits but not enriched by organic material like the A horizon.

The B horizon is below the A (or sometimes E) horizon and is where all of the minerals accumulate. In particularly well-developed B horizons, you'll sometimes see a sub-horizon called a BK horizon, which is a well developed layer of calcium carbonate (especially in the southwest United States). This layer is often very hard and can be a hinderance to subsurface detection strategies like GPR.

Hope it helps!!
