What else can I help you with?
In which layer would you find loam that is rich in humus?
A horizon
What term for a layer of soil that differs in color and texture from the layer above and below it?
That would be a "soil horizon." Each horizon represents a different stage of soil development and can vary in color, texture, structure, and composition.
Which layer would you find humus?
Humus is typically found in the top layer of soil known as the O horizon. This layer consists of partially decomposed organic matter such as dead plants and animal remains. Humus helps improve soil structure and nutrient content, making it an essential component for healthy plant growth.
What layer of soil is the second layer?
The first layer is Litter, the third is Humus, so the second layer would be Duff.
Describe what you would expect to see in the c horizon of a soil?
In the C horizon of a soil, you would typically see partially weathered parent material that is not well-developed into soil. It is often composed of broken-down rock fragments with little organic matter, minerals, or nutrients. The C horizon is the least weathered and least fertile layer of the soil profile.
How do you make a soil profile?
Soil Profile refers to the layers of soil; horizon A, B, and C. If you're wondering what horizon A is, here's your answer: horizon A refers to the upper layer of soil, nearest the surface. It is commonly known as topsoil. In the woods or other areas that have not been plowed or tilled, this layer would probably include organic litter, such as fallen leaves and twigs . The litter helps prevent erosion, holds moisture, and decays to form a very rich soil known as humus. Horizon A provides plants with nutrients they need for a great life. The layer below horizon A, of course, has to be horizon B. Litter is not present in horizon B and therefore there is much less humus. Horizon B does contain some elements from horizon A because of the process of leaching. Leaching resembles what happens in a coffee pot as the water drips through the coffee grounds. Leaching may also bring some minerals from horizon B down to horizon C. If horizon B is below horizon A, then horizon C must be below horizon B. Horizon C consists mostly of weatherized big rocks. This solid rock, as you discovered inSoil Formation, gave rise to the horizons above it.
If a layer of the crust is pushed up what changes would you expect to see?
If a layer of the crust is pushed up which of the following changes would you expect to see?
How would you use humus in a sentence?
I like to eat humus. I dip my carrots into humus.
Why a layer of rich humus may not cover some areas of the rain forest?
The obvious , rain and erosion would cover or wash-out animal wastes.
If you walked north from the equator 10 and deg how would you expect Polaris to move?
answer: It would rise above the horizon 10°. hope it helps!
What horizon would you find topsoil?
first you must look in the crack or the anal colum in the rear region of the the soil
What is the second layer of organic soil?
The second layer of organic soil is typically referred to as the topsoil. Topsoil contains a mix of organic matter, minerals, and nutrients that support plant growth. It is the most fertile layer of soil and is vital for healthy plant development.
