Mature soil is soil with a well-developed horizon
This is not techincally accurate, soils can have numerous horizons and are not restricted to the basic three, however to answer your question. A Horizon - the top soil B Horizon - the sub soil C Horizon - the parent material This is a very generalized and inaccurate view of a soil profile however and in a profile in nature will be far more complex.The distinct soil horizons are known as the soil profile
soil profile
they are called the 3 horizons Horizon A : topsoil Horizon B : subsoil Horizon C : weathered bedrock
soil horizon 1 topsoil soil horizon 2 subsoil soil horizon 3 no name

The A Horizon (topsoil),B Horizon (subsoil), and C horizon (broken-down bedrock).
erosion zone
three horizons are top soil-horizon 1,middle layer-horizon2, and lowest layest-horizon 3
soil profile
THe c horizon
Soil layers are called soil horizons. Typically, a soil includes an A horizon, a B horizon and a C horizon. In laymen's terms: A horizon = topsoil B horizon = subsoil C horizon = parent material (the stuff in which the soil formed)

soil horizons determine the age of the soil
