Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As soil ages, it starts to look different from its parent material. That is because soil is dynamic. Its components-minerals, water, air, organic matter, and organisms-constantly change. Components are added and lost.
Detailed explanation-2: -Just below the subsoil horizon is a horizon that can be very thin or very thick depending on where you are. This horizon has no organic material; it is just rock and minerals. This layer is weathered parent material, which was exposed to wind and rain and broke into pieces to begin to form the soil above.
