User:Atcovi/Soil Horizons


 * Horizon A
 * Consists of topsoil (where most humus is). Contains most organic matter out of the other horizons. Good material for animals and plants to live [in] (presents of a worm, made out of leather in there to show this). A lot of leaching takes place, in which water travels through the horizons [while] carrying nutrients with it. These nutrients are then deposited in Horizon B.
 * Horizon B
 * Collects the dissolved substances/nutrients from the upper horizons.
 * Horizon E
 * Both Horizon A and B.
 * Horizon C/R
 * Little-No weathering
 * Where bedrock is (some have been partially weathered, some have not been weathered at all).
