The best way to start a study of soil is to find an exposed soil bank or to dig a soil pit and expose the different layers of soil. A cross section of soil is called a soil profile and each layer in the profile is called a horizon. To determine a soil horizon, mark where the soil changes color and general appearance.
Many soils have three major layers or horizons, top soil, subsoil and parent material.
