A)removal of very fine-sized silt and clay particles from the A and E soil horizons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eluviation is the process of removing fine-sized particles like silt and clay from the upper soil horizons (A and E) and transporting them to lower soil horizons (B and C). This movement can occur through water percolation, causing the fine particles to wash out and form another layer in the lower soil horizon.
