Soils develop into layers. These layers, called horizons, are usually seen along road cuts and other areas where the soil is exposed.
In the hypothetical situation, there are four horizons in a soil profile. The thickness of each varies with location, and under disturbed conditions -- heavy agriculture, building sites, or severe erosion, for example -- not all horizons will be present.
