Using this illustration as a guide, indicate the level one would need to drill to gain a sample containing the highest ratio of parent rock in comparison with organic material. horizon C

horizon A

horizon B

horizon O

horizon C

Explanation:

The horizon C has the highest ratio of parent rock as compared to organic matter. This horizon starts after horizon B and present above the bed rock. This horizon consists of weathered and partially decomposed rocks. It is the actual layer of soil of that place whereas the other horizon A and B comes with the passage of time when the wind bring the soil particles and these particles deposits on this layer of the soil making horizon A and B.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen
