Organic Layer - plant litter Surface Layer - mineral and organic mixture Subsoil - contains clay, iron, aluminium Substratum - parent material
A soil profile is a vertical section of soil layers that shows the different horizons (layers) from the surface down to the parent material. It provides information about the composition, structure, and characteristics of the soil at a particular location.
The "six layers" of soil, commonly referred to as master horizons, consist of (in order from top soil to bedrock), the O horizon, the A horizon, the E horizon, the B horizon, the C horizon, and the R horizon.

Camden typically has three main layers of soil: topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock. The characteristics and depth of each layer can vary depending on the specific location within Camden.
The layers of soil that can be penetrated by water are called "saturated zones" or "percolation zones". These layers allow water to flow through and be absorbed by the soil.
The layers of soil are typically classified into three main horizons: topsoil (rich in organic matter and nutrients), subsoil (containing less organic material and minerals leached from the topsoil), and bedrock (the solid rock layer beneath the soil horizons). Each layer plays a role in supporting plant growth and ecosystem functions.

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 vertical sequence of soil layers is called a soil profile. This profile typically consists of distinct layers, or horizons, that vary in color, texture, and composition. It is important for understanding the different properties and characteristics of the soil.

Soil Horizon
All soil layers together form what is known as soil profile. The soil profile consists of various layers or horizons, each with its own unique characteristics and composition.
