Question

Name all layers of soil. ​

Answer 1

Layers of soil:

a. topsoil (A horizon)

b. subsoil (B horizon)

c. C horizon.

a. topsoil (A horizon):

As we know that the A horizon is of a mixture of organic material and inorganic products of weathering; it is the beginning of true mineral soil.

b. subsoil (B horizon):

The B horizon, or subsoil, is a dense layer of mostly fine material that has been pushed down from the topsoil.

c. C horizon:

the layer in a soil profile below the B horizon and immediately above the bedrock, consisting chiefly of weathered, partially decomposed rock.
