Morphologically, soils are composed of a series of horizons. Soil horizons are layers of different appearance, thickness, and properties which have arisen by the action of various soil-forming processes. The horizons are normally parallel to the surface.

By the removal of soluble material from the original substance the insoluble material remaining may form valuable residual deposits. From carbonates and silicates in the original rock may be converted into practically insoluble oxides, which form iron ores as rock weathers; silica may be leached from kaolin, leaving the insoluble hydrous aluminum oxide, bauxite, a most important aluminum ore. Such deposits are generally formed in warm moist climates and would not be found in areas which have been glaciated. 3, record 4, English, - residual%20deposit
