the bottom layer of soil is broken-down bedrock. first one is topsoil. second one is subsoil.
Humus
humus - study island? lol
The first layer of soil is called the O Horizon, it is made of primarily humus. The second layer is the A horizon, this is the topsoil. Then there comes the E layer which is the eluvation layer. Next comes the B horizon which is the subsoil, then there is the C horizon which is the regolith, then the final layer is the R layer which is bedrock.
What is the third layer of soil
Soil is made of 3 main layers: topsoil, subsoil and the layer of parent material. The topsoil contains most of the humus (which is a dark organic material of the soil), it is formed from the decay of various organisms The thick layer of soil below topsoil is subsoil, it is lighter in colour in comparison with the topsoil and often contains a lot of clay. Water carries minerals an other materials down into this layer and most tree roots grow down into the subsoil The bottom layer contains large rocks, this is the material from which the soil above is partly formed. The bottom layer is the parent material, these rocks break down into gravel, sand and clay that become part of the subsoil
The 4th layer of soil >.<

The uppermost layer of the soil which is the O-horizon, and is called "Humus".
Humus.
The first layer of soil is called the O Horizon, it is made of primarily humus. The second layer is the A horizon, this is the topsoil. Then there comes the E layer which is the eluvation layer. Next comes the B horizon which is the subsoil, then there is the C horizon which is the regolith, then the final layer is the R layer which is bedrock.
The topsoil is the finest soil layer. Soil 'layers' are called horizons.
What is the third layer of soil
There are four layers and the four layers are top layer called the organic layer, Upper soil layer, middle soil layer, and the last one is lowest layer.
Bedrock is the lowest soil horizon that you will find. This is the area that consists mainly of solid rock that has been formed by many years of compression placed on the above layer of soil.
horizontal layer of soil is called horizon
The layer with soil is the lower mantle
