Question

The B horizon is rich in


Mineral Deposits and Bedrock


Humus and Mineral Deposits


Mineral Deposits and Clay

Answer 1

The B horizon, also known as the subsoil, is usually rich in **mineral deposits and clay**. This layer typically accumulates minerals that leach down from the upper layers (such as the A horizon, which is often rich in organic material and humus) and has a higher clay content compared to the topsoil. It serves as a critical layer in soil profiles for plant growth and drainage.
