Expert Answer
Soil broadly consists of four layers. These are:
- Top Soil: This is the outer thin layer. It contains fine particles and organic matter. It is on this layer that plants and crops grow.
- Sub soil: This layer lies below the top soil. It contains materials which are removed from the top soil.
- Weathered Rock: This layer lies below the sub soil. It is in first stage of soil formation.
- Bed Rock or the Parent Rock: This is un-weathered rock. It determines the nature of the soil.
