explain different types of soil profile? |
| Answer» The soil is found in layers, which are arranged during the formation of soil. These layers called horizons, the sequence of layers is the soil profile. The layers of soil can easily be observed by their color and size of particles. The main layers of the soil are topsoil, subsoil and the parent rock. Each layer has its own characteristics.The vertical section of the soil that is exposed by a soil pit is termed as the soil profile. A soil pit is a hole that is dug from the surface of the soil to the underlying bedrock. Soil profile plays a very important role in determining the use of the soil. It helps one to differentiate the given sample of soil from other soil samples based on factors like its color, texture, structure, and thickness, as well as its chemical composition. | |
