Which layer in a soil profile contains the most organic matter?
The O horizon contains the most organic matter. The O horizon overlies the A horizon which is known as the mineral horizon. O - organic A - mineral E - elluviation B - illuviation C - parent material R - bedrock This is the order in which you will see standard soil horizons.
What atmosphere layer contains layer?
An atmospheric layer that contains layer is stratosphere. It contains ozone layer.
Which layer of soil is made up of only partly weathered rock?
parent material
What atmospheric layer includes the ozone layer?
The stratospheric layer contains it. It is the layer which contains maximum of it's concentration.
What is the layer of the atmosphere were jets fly through and contains ozone layer?
The layer is stratosphere. It contains the ozone layer.
Which horizon contains the least-weathered parent material?
which horizon contains the least weathered parent material
What are the 4 main layers of soil?
Organic Layer - plant litter Surface Layer - mineral and organic mixture Subsoil - contains clay, iron, aluminium Substratum - parent material
How does soil form layers?
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
What is the soil layer with the most parent material?
Top soil
An underground layer of permeable material that contains groundwater is called?
aquifer
Which layer of your earth contains the least dense material?

What layer in the soil profile has the most organic material?
A is the layer of the soil profile in which most organic material is found.Specifically, there are five layers in the soil profile. The first, A layer of organic matter claims the first two inches and contains plant debris. The second, A layer of surface soil comprises the next ten inches down. Below it will be found the third, B layer of subsoil containing aluminum, clay, iron and organic compounds and going down 30 inches; the fourth, C layer of parent rock going down 48 inches; and the fifth, final, R layer of bedrock.
