Answer 1

Answer:

which two statements describe how soil horizons are formed?

Explanation:

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface whose physical, chemical and biological characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Horizons are defined in many cases by obvious physical features, mainly colour and texture.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

As soils develop over time, layers (or horizons) form a soil profile. Most soil profiles cover the earth as 2 main layers— topsoil and subsoil. Soil horizons are the layers in the soil as you move down the soil profile. A soil profile may have soil horizons that are easy or difficult to distinguish.
