Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.
Answer:
The particles that accumulate on the rocks as time passes transform into the so-called integral soil profile. This profile is characterized by having different soil horizons, which are the different processes of soil formation, for example:
-the upper horizon is an area where organic matter accumulates, which provides enough carbon dioxide and some organic compounds.
-the next horizon is what is known as the leaching zone, where the different mineral materials dissolve due to the water that seeps into the soil.
-the next horizon is the so-called accumulation zone, where the chemicals that are dissolved in the filtered water are deposited and transformed into minerals
-the last horizon is the so-called transition zone, where the new material originates.
