Minerals found in the B horizon were dissolved in water and carried there by a process called leaching

Explanation;

  • Leaching is the process in which minerals are dissolved in water and carried down in a soil profile.
  • Leaching occurs as a result of heavy rainfall, high temperature and percolation, which leads to loss of mineral and organic solutes.
  • The process occurs when air spaces in soil become filled with water and gravity begins to move water downward. Some soils such as Laterite soils develop due as a result of leaching.
