What else can I help you with?
Does bedrock turn into humus?
No. Humus is organic matter, and formed over the years as living organisms (mostly plants) die and decompose in the soil. It is about 58% carbon, by weight. Bedrock can decompose, too, but it never becomes humus. Depending on the type of bedrock, it breaks down into sand, silt, gravel and clay minerals. Limestone bedrock may dissolve.
What type of soil has a thin layer of topsoil and a small amount of humus?

Is bedrock the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter?
No, bedrock is not the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter.Specifically, bedrock comprises one of six soil horizons or layers. Organic animal and plant matter decompose in the topmost layer and supply the layer immediately below with the humus content of A horizon's humus-mineral mix. Bedrock is found in sixth, bottommost layer which includes unweathered rock.
Is there more or less humus the deeper you dig?
Less, because humus is composed of organic material that's at it's break down point, so the deeper you dig the less organic materials there is

What is the least fertile layer of the soil?
The least fertile layer of soil is usually the bedrock layer, which is the solid rock beneath the soil horizons. Since bedrock contains few nutrients and is not suitable for plant roots to penetrate, it is not conducive to plant growth.
What kind of mechanicl weathering is humus in soil produced by?
Its produced by bedrock because if you have the science book of Temecula Middle School, it will show you on page 66.
What is the loose material on earths surface that contains weathered rock particles and humus?
