From Keys to Soil Taxonomy, 10th Ed., USDA, NRCS The placic horizon (Gr. base of plax, flat stone; meaning a thin cemented pan) is a thin, black to dark reddish pan that is cemented by iron (or iron and manganese) and organic matter. Required Characteristics A placic horizon must meet the following requirements: 1. The horizon is cemented or indurated with iron or iron and manganese and organic matter, with or without other cementing agents; and 2. Because of lateral continuity, roots can penetrate only along vertical fractures with a horizontal spacing of 10 cm or more; and 3. The horizon has a minimum thickness of 1 mm and, where associated with spodic materials, is less than 25 mm thick.

What is the correct order of the different soil horizons?
The correct order of soil horizons, from top to bottom, is O horizon, A horizon, E horizon, B horizon, C horizon, and R horizon. It is important to note that not all soils have all these horizons, as they can vary depending on the specific conditions of the soil.
Which horizon is materials that are leached from horizon A are deposited into this horizon?
Materials that leach from horizon A are typically deposited into horizon B, also known as the subsoil. This horizon can accumulate minerals, clays, and organic matter that have been leached from the upper layers.
What is horizon b's name?
Horizon B's name is Horizon Brave.
Which soil horizon develops as rainwater washed clay and minerals from the A horizon to the B horizon?
The B horizon develops as rainwater washes clay and minerals from the A horizon to the B horizon below it. This process is called leaching. The B horizon typically contains more clay and accumulated minerals than the A horizon.
How does the B horizon deffer from the A horizon and the C horizon?
The B horizon is rich in minerals leached from the A horizon above and can exhibit a higher clay content. The A horizon is the topmost layer commonly consisting of organic matter mixed with mineral particles. The C horizon is a layer of weathered and broken rock material beneath the B horizon.
Which is correct an horizon or a horizon?
a horizon

Which soil horizon develops as rainwater washed clay and minerals from the A horizon to the B horizon?
The B horizon develops as rainwater washes clay and minerals from the A horizon to the B horizon below it. This process is called leaching. The B horizon typically contains more clay and accumulated minerals than the A horizon.
How does the b horizon differ from a horizon and the c horizon?
The C horizon contains mainly parent material, while the B horizon contains mainly clay particles and the A horizon; mainly silt sized particles and humus
On which horizon does the sun set?
The western horizon.
How does the B horizon deffer from the A horizon and the C horizon?
The B horizon is rich in minerals leached from the A horizon above and can exhibit a higher clay content. The A horizon is the topmost layer commonly consisting of organic matter mixed with mineral particles. The C horizon is a layer of weathered and broken rock material beneath the B horizon.
