What are the three primary soil orders and there meaning?
The three primary soil are basis of diagnostic horizons .Entisol is lacking horizons, inceptiol is a soil that are just began to show horizons, histosol soil is high organic matter and aridisol is a moist soil.
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
Are the soils in deserts rich in minerals but poor in organic material?

Temperate forest soils have thinner A horizons than prairie soils do.
