The image shows a diagram of soil horizons. The text at the top instructs to "Color and label the soil parts."

Soil Horizon Diagram

The image displays a cross-section of soil, illustrating different layers or horizons. These horizons are typically labeled with letters, such as A₁, A₂, B, and C, from top to bottom. Each horizon represents distinct soil characteristics developed over time due to processes like decomposition of organic matter, leaching, and mineral accumulation. The top layer (A horizon) is usually rich in organic material and is called the topsoil. Below it, the B horizon, or subsoil, often contains accumulated minerals. The C horizon consists of partially weathered parent material. The diagram is intended to be colored and labeled to identify these different soil components and their properties.
