Certainly! Here are the matches based on the descriptions provided for soil layers:
-
Is full of nutrients - Topsoil (O or A horizon): This layer is rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it crucial for plant growth.
-
Breaks down to form soil above - Subsoil (B horizon): This layer consists of minerals and nutrients that come from the layers above as organic materials break down.
-
Contains clay - Subsoil (B horizon): The subsoil often has a higher concentration of clay and minerals, which can hold nutrients and retain moisture.
-
Is light and loose - Sand (C horizon): This layer is typically lighter and looser than the other soil layers, consisting mostly of larger particles.
