Question 6 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following statements about horizons is true?

Answer
A
They are characterized by whether they are solid, liquid, or gas.
B
They are represented by Roman numerals.
C
All soils have completely different horizon patterns.
D
They are defined by their different physical features.

Explanation

Soil horizons are layers within a soil profile, and each is identified by differences in physical features such as color, texture, and composition. They are not classified by whether they are solid, liquid, or gas, and soil profiles do not all have completely different patterns. Therefore, the true statement is that horizons are defined by their different physical features.
