Soil scientists divide soil into horizons based on depth and soil make up. The O horizon, the very top layer right under the grass, is where the top soil is. This is the soil that is critical to human life.
Layers of soil are called horizons and labeled as O, A, E, B, C, and R. The top layer or horizon is O. It is made up of organic matter, and can be called topsoil.
sandy clayey
Soil comes in many layers. Commonly, the third layer is the largest part of the soil structure. This third layer can range from clay to sand. Often the Organic matter layer isn't as deep as the third layer.
A layer of soil at the surface of the ground is subsoil. Subsoil is made up of small particles including silt, sand, and clay.

there is the organic layer which is the top most layer and its about 8cm deep

humus
Layers of soil are called horizons and labeled as O, A, E, B, C, and R. The top layer or horizon is O. It is made up of organic matter, and can be called topsoil.
Is a solid layer of rock lying beneath Earth's soil layer. Bedrock: Is the source of rock and mineral fragments that make up soil. Is not weathered if it is not exposed to wind and water.
soil horizons determine the age of the soil
the O-Horizon is the topmost soil so it has the most humus
The second layer
The top layer is the crust, the next layer is the outer core, and the last layer is the inner core.
ground soil.
