➻ The soil is the topmost layer of the earth’s crust mainly composed of organic minerals and rock particles that support life. A soil profile is a vertical cross-section of the soil, made of layers running parallel to the surface. These layers are known as soil horizons.

There are 4 soil horizons :-

  1. O Horizon (consists of organic matter)
  2. A Horizon (mineral layer)
  3. B Horizon (subsoil layer)
  4. C Horizon (consists of large unbroken rocks)
