7) A typical soil pr<strong>of</strong>ile is created from <strong>the</strong> bedrock at an average rate <strong>of</strong> 1cm per 400<br />
years. When a soil pr<strong>of</strong>ile is complete it is called mature. A mature soil pr<strong>of</strong>ile has<br />
an A-horizon at <strong>the</strong> top with humus and minerals, a B-horizon with only minerals,<br />
and a C-horizon with no organic or mineral content.<br />
In New York State because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relatively recent Ice Age, our soil pr<strong>of</strong>ile is<br />
immature, missing <strong>the</strong> B-Horizon.<br />
