Name All the horizons of a soil?

The horizons of a soil profile are O horizon (organic matter), A horizon (topsoil with organic material), E horizon (zone of leaching), B horizon (subsoil with accumulation of minerals), C horizon (weathered parent material), and R horizon (bedrock).


Which layer of soil are the materials leached from horizon A deposited?

Materials leached from horizon A are typically deposited in the B horizon of the soil profile. As water moves through the soil, it carries minerals and nutrients from horizon A and deposits them in the B horizon.


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.


What Soil Horizon Has The Darkest And Richest Soil?

The soil horizon that has the darkest and richest soil is usually the topsoil layer, known as the A horizon. This layer contains a high amount of organic matter and nutrients, making it ideal for plant growth.


A mature soil show is three distinct soil horizons known as?

This is not techincally accurate, soils can have numerous horizons and are not restricted to the basic three, however to answer your question. A Horizon - the top soil B Horizon - the sub soil C Horizon - the parent material This is a very generalized and inaccurate view of a soil profile however and in a profile in nature will be far more complex.The distinct soil horizons are known as the soil profile

Which soil layers comprimise soil layers?
