Soil is composed of five distinct horizons. In order from closest to the surface to farthest away from the surface, they are: the O Horizon, A Horizon, E Horizon, B Horizon, and C Horizon. The O Horizon - or "organic" horizon, is composed mainly of loose and partly decayed organic matter such as leaves and teems with microscopic life. The A Horizon is mineral matter mixed with some humus (the decayed remains of animal and plant life). Together, the O and A Horizons make up what is known as topsoil. Below the A Horizon is the E Horizon, which is made up of light colored mineral particles. It contains little organic matter. The B Horizon is an accumulation of clay transported from above as water percolates through the upper horizons. The B Horizon is also known as "subsoil". The O, A, E, and B Horizons are collectively called "Solum", or "True soil". The C Horizon is partially altered parent material. Although this material is undergoing changes that will eventually turn it into soil, it still possess most of the characteristics of the bedrock underneath and has not crossed the boundary that separates regolith from soil.
Dead living things are compacted into the ground which makes up soil.
Three things that make up soil are called matter.Matter is made of solid liquid and gas.
The 5 components of soil is Rock, Sand, Silt, Clay, Humus.

In terms of Science, there are five physical elements that make up the environment in a community. These five elements include: air, soil, water, solar energy, and flora & fauna.
A habitat is made up of all nature things that a specific species needs to survive. Some of the things that make up a habitat include soil, moisture, temperature, sunlight, and the availability of food.
Soil quality refers to what exactly is the physical make-up of soil.
