What is elluviation?
Refers to the downward movement or loss of dissolved or suspended material within soil by leaching (i.e. salts, nutrients and silicate clays. elluviation leaves the topsoil or A horizon and creates the E horizon. Materials accumulate in the zone of illuviation or accumulation in the B horizon underneath the E horizon.

What are the horizons of the soil?
O-horizon (surface litter)=mainly partially decaying organic matter A-horizon (Topsoil)= mainly contains organic matter, living organisms, inorganic minerals. E-horizon (Eluviated zone)= low quantities of minerals,clay and organic matter due to leeching. B-horizon (Subsoil)= accumulation of iron, aluminium and clay leached down from the A and E horizons. C-horizon (Regolith)= partially broken down inorganic minerals Bedrock
What is E Horizon?
E horizons, or Zone of Eluviation, is one of the layers of soil. It is the layer that is below the topsoil, or A Horizon, and subsoil, or B Horizon. It is the leaching layer, and materials that are dissolved or suspended in water in the soil move down or sideways as the rainwater moves through it through a process called eluviation. It is made up mostly of sand and silt because most of its minerals and clay have been lost as water drips through.
What is the B horizon?
The B horizon is the layer of soil underneath the A horizon, which is under the O horizon. The B horizon contains minerals and sand grains as well as organic material. If you didn't get it when your teacher explained it, ask him/her aboput it. They are sure to explain better than I can!

Why is the A horizon the most evolved soil layer?
Well, the A horizon is made up of topsoil, a crumbly, dark brown soil composed of humus, clay, and other minerals.
What liquid or thing moves down through the horizon causing to dissolve and Carrie minerals?
