This upper soil horizon is also called Topsoil. It is only between 5 to 10 inches thick and consists of organic matter and minerals. This is the soil layer where plants and organisms primarily live.

B: This layer is also called Subsoil. It is mostly made of clay, iron minerals as well as organic matter, which has been washed down to this horizon by rainwater.

C: The C horizon is the parent material from which the upper soil layers developed. It consists primarily of large rocks.

R: This is the bedrock and is located several feet under the surface. The bedrock is made up of a solid mass of rock.
