Soil Profile

Real World Example

Think about organizing your closet, where you have different shelves for various items like shoes, clothes, and accessories. Just like your closet is divided into sections for better organization, a soil profile is a cross-section of soil that reveals its different layers, known as horizons. Each layer in the soil profile, like the shelves in your closet, serves a unique purpose and contains different materials, such as organic matter or minerals, helping you understand the overall composition and function of the soil.
