Generation

Soil horizons are distinct layers that form in soil over time, stacked like a layer cake from the surface down to bedrock. The O horizon at the top contains organic matter like decomposing leaves, followed by the A horizon (topsoil) where organic material mixes with minerals. Below that, the B horizon (subsoil) accumulates minerals that wash down from above, while the C horizon consists of partially weathered parent rock material. These layers develop through weathering, biological activity, and the movement of water and materials through the soil profile.
