Question

What is a difference between top soil and subsoil

Answer 1

Answer:

Subsoil is the layer underneath the surface topsoil, which consists of greater minerals and materials of iron and aluminum compounds than topsoil. The subsoil usually appears to be lighter in color, less fertile, challenging to manage and has a sticky texture.

Topsoil is slightly different from subsoil, where it is found on the very top of the surface and is prepared from erosion of bedrock. Topsoil tends to be much darker in color since the soil is more fertile than subsoil. This is because the soil is rich in organic matter.
