What are three layers of soil in earth's crust?

How does C Horizon form?
Bedrock weathers, and rock breaks up into soil particles.
Are bedrock channels more likely to be found near the head or near the mouth of a stream?
In their headwaters, where the gradient is steep, most rivers cut into bedrock. These streams typically transport course particles that actively abrade the bedrock channel.
What causes the breakdown of bedrock?
