Soil broadly consists of four layers. These are:

  •    Top Soil: This is the outer thin layer. It contains fine particles and organic matter. It is on this layer that plants and crops grow.
  •    Sub soil: This layer lies below the top soil. It contains materials which are removed from the top soil.
  •    Weathered Rock: This layer lies below the sub soil. It is in first stage of soil formation.
  •    Bed Rock or the Parent Rock: This is un-weathered rock. It determines the nature of the soil.

The soil profile with the help of a diagram.

Explanation:

  • Soil is a medium of plant growth and acts as water storage, habitat for organisms, and acts as a modifier for the climate.
  • The layers of soil are broadly divided into four layers as topsoil, subsoil,  weathered rock, and parent, or bedrock.
  • The top horizon or the A horizon is called as the humus layer and consists of decomposed organic matter and is dark brown on color.
  • The subsoil or B soil is less humus light in color. Has iron oxide s good for plowing.
  • The bedrocks of the C layer is the zone of transition between the parent rocks and the above horizon.
