Top soil is soil on the very top of the earths crust and is the soil we walk on. Sub soil is the soil tha is under top soil
One sub-specialization of soil science is pedology, which focuses on the formation, classification, and mapping of soils. Another sub-specialization is soil fertility, which deals with the chemical, physical, and biological factors that affect the availability of nutrients for plant growth in soils.
Umm... let's see. The top layer is top-soil. The middle layer is sub-soil. The bottom layer is parent rock.... I think you've got the answer...... ;-) you're welcome!
Top soil refers to the top layer of soil that has a mix of vegetative matter and soil in it. The thickness of this layer varies from location to location. If you cut through sod with a spade and create a hole about 12" deep, you can see where the top soil turns into sub soil, which is a denser, lighter layer of soil. Generally, the top soil is darker because of the amount of decomposed plant matter in it - and the subsoil is lighter because it is mostly the mineral content: silt, clay, and sand.
Beneath soil layers, you can find bedrock, which is the solid rock layer that underlies soil. Below the bedrock, there may be other geological features like water tables, rock formations, or other geological formations depending on the location.
Subsoil typically appears compacted, dense, and less organic-rich compared to topsoil. It may contain fine particles like clay and silt, as well as minerals and nutrients leached down from the topsoil. Subsoil can vary in color, texture, and composition depending on the region and underlying geology.
all i know the three types of soil are top soil sub soil and bedrock
im the one you question
soil sub

it is the deepest soil found and is below horizon a and b
The layer of soil that has little or no humus in it is the subsoil. The top layer of the soil has the most humus in it because the dead leaves fall from the plant and go back into the soil. Water and sun also help give the plant humus.
it has no soil

Yes, it grows on top of the soil.
