➻ 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 :-
- O Horizon (consists of organic matter)
- A Horizon (mineral layer)
- B Horizon (subsoil layer)
- C Horizon (consists of large unbroken rocks)
