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
yes, soil have diffrent types of layers in it...................
Soil LayersThe layers of soil are:Top SoilSub SoilParent Materialbedrock
soil layers are called horizons
The horizon is the vertical sequence of the layers of soil.
A vertical sequence of distinct soil layers is a soil profile!
Only some soils form in layers, but the overall answer is...YES

A vertical sequence of distinct soil layers is a soil profile!
Those soil layers are permeable.
Horizontal layers of soil or rock are called 'strata'
The layers of soil that were naturally deposited are called, 'Horizons'.
The layers of soil that were naturally deposited are called, 'Horizons'.
The layers of soil from the bottom, or the deepest, layer to top are
the answer is topsoil subsoil parent weathering bed rock
