Expert Solution
Step 1
Soil is defined as mixture of materials covering the surface of the Earth formed from the weathering of rocks. These materials consist of mainly minerals, organic particles, air, water and small living organisms. Soil components are reorganized into physically different layers and it is referred to as horizons. There are five soil horizons-: O, A, E, B, and C.
